How to Configure PIN & Fingerprint Authentication for Your Nexonia Timesheets App

Nexonia Timesheets allows users to unlock their app using a PIN or fingerprint authentication (Touch ID). If your mobile device is capable and configured to have fingerprint authentication, you can unlock Nexonia Timesheets with your fingerprint. You can continue using your PIN as a backup.

How to Configure Fingerprint Authentication for Nexonia Timesheets

Log in to your Nexonia account on the mobile app. 

Navigate to Settings > SECURITY.

If you are using an iOS mobile device you will have 3 options:

1. PIN - upon launching the app, you will be prompted to enter a PIN.  
2. Touch ID - upon launching the app, you will be prompted to enter a PIN or verify your identity using fingerprint authentication. 
3. None -upon launching the app, neither a PIN nor fingerprint will be required.

Touch ID > Done > Enter new PIN > Reenter PIN > Save. 

Congratulations! You have configured PIN & Fingerprint authentication for your Nexonia Timesheets app. You will now be asked to authenticate your identity via fingerprint or PIN after 5 seconds of exiting the app or upon re-launching the Nexonia Timesheets app. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

Nexonia Administrators can set the Mobile PIN & Fingerprint Lock feature to Always or When acting for other users. To learn more: How to Configure Mobile PIN & Fingerprint Lock.

If your account Administrators have set this feature to Always, the PIN/Fingerprint feature will be automatically enabled for all users, and therefore users will not need to follow the instructions above.

If your account Administrators have set the Mobile PIN & Fingerprint Lock feature to When acting for other users (default setting), the PIN/Fingerprint feature is enabled only for users who proxy or "Act For" other users on the app. Users can follow the instructions above to enable the PIN/Fingerprint feature on their individual mobile app.

Device capability

The mobile device must be capable and configured to detect fingerprints (fingerprint sensor present and fingerprints registered in the system). Otherwise a PIN is activated instead.

Feature deactivation 

Users can disable the PIN/Fingerprint feature from their mobile app Settings, if their account Administrators have set the Mobile PIN & Fingerprint Lock feature to When acting for other users and the user did not proxy or "Act For" another user on the app. When disabling the feature, the user will be prompted to authenticate their identity using their fingerprint. Upon completion, the feature will be disabled.
