Use Settings in the ESET Secure Authentication mobile app to protect access to the app, manage sign-in approvals, and enable backup/restore scenarios.

To open the Settings, tap the settings icon > tap Settings.

The following settings are available:

Setting

Description

PIN authentication (recommended)

Enable the toggle to create and confirm your PIN.

Several settings (for example, biometrics and backup) are available only when the app is PIN-protected.

Ensure you keep your PIN safe. If you forget it, you will need to reset the app settings.

Change PIN code

Update the PIN you use to unlock the ESET Secure Authentication mobile app: Type your current PIN > Create and confirm a new PIN.

If you forgot your PIN, tap Forgot PIN on the PIN screen to reset the app (this removes accounts and requires re-enrollment).

Use biometrics

Enable the toggle to unlock the app using your device's biometrics (fingerprint or face recognition). Requirements:

•PIN authentication must be enabled in the app.

•Biometric authentication must be configured in your device settings.

Cloud backup

Enable the toggle to support device switch and backup using platform-native backup mechanisms (for example, iCloud backup/restore on iOS and Google Drive backup/restore on Android).

Require approval for new IPs

Enable the toggle to require approval for push logins from new locations:

•When PIN protection is enabled, this option is enabled by default.

•Your administrator can require this option for your account (it may appear even if you turned it off).

Delete trusted locations

Remove locations (IPs) that were previously trusted for push logins.
