RC-Auth authentication is easy to set up
-
STEP01
For services that support authentication using RC-Auth, all a user needs to do to use it is to register the authentication universal key issued by the service on a compatible app on their iPhone or Android device.
-
STEP02
When registering a new user for a service that supports authentication using RC-Auth, or while logged in to the service, click the "Create Authentication Key" button on the "Account Information Management Screen." This will display a screen for entering a PIN code.
-
STEP03
Open the "Add Authentication Key" screen in an app that supports the authentication universal key on your device, such as an iPhone or Android.
-
STEP04
Enter the PIN (sPIN) displayed on the screen of your authentication universal key compatible app into the PIN code entry screen on the service side (this is all the user needs to do).
-
STEP05
After that, key information and other data will be automatically exchanged between the service and the authentication universal key-compatible app in the background, and you will be ready to use authentication using RC-Auth.
*If you incorporate an authentication function using RC-Auth into a dedicated app for your company's service, you can omit the above preparation steps and configure it so that registration is performed automatically through background processing.
