Using Authenticator Apps

Overview

Authenticator apps (eg. Google Authenticator) are a popular way to leverage 6-digit One-Time Passcodes based multi-factor authentication. LoginTC supports the enrollment of software tokens in authenticator apps. This means that organizations that already have the application deployed can continue to leverage it without having to deploy a new smartphone app.

Professional, Business or Enterprise subscription required
See the Pricing page for more information about subscription options.

Supported authenticator apps

Using Authenticator Apps

Iframe Window

Authenticator authentication with Authentication Mode Iframe for Citrix NetScaler:

The user selects Authenticator App and enters the corresponding 6 digit code from their app.

RADIUS Direct

When authenticating, a user enters their username normally. In the password field, they should should enter their password followed immediately by a comma and the One-Time Password (OTP) displayed on the Authenticator App.

Regular input (without OTP):

username: john.doe
password: johnPassword

Input with OTP:

username: john.doe
password: johnPassword,253340

If the OTP is valid, the user will be authenticated. If the OTP is invalid the user’s request will be denied.

Warning
There must not be any spaces between the password, the comma, and the OTP

RADIUS Challenge and Challenge Interactive

Using Authenticator App generated OTPs with Challenge and Challenge Interactive Mode also works. The user simply needs to enter the generated 6 digit code after entering their username and password.

Windows Logon Offline
