PhoneFactor prevents unauthorized access to your business/personal accounts and stops fraudulent transactions.How It Works:PhoneFactor verifies account logins and financial transactions with a push notification to your phone. Simply view the notification, and if it is legitimate, tap Authenticate (or enter your PIN and tap Authenticate) to approve the login or transaction. If it is not legitimate, tap Deny and Report Fraud to block the attack and instantly notify the company requesting the verification that your account has been compromised.The entire process takes just seconds and adds a critical second layer of security (on top of your user name and password) to defeat password phishing attacks, keylogging software, online account takeovers, and even the most sophisticated forms of malware.The PhoneFactor app can also be used as a software token to generate an OATH passcode. The passcode is entered, along with your user name and password, to verify account logins.PhoneFactor Secures:• Remote Access VPNs• Web Applications and Web Mail• Cloud Applications• Online Banking & Financial WebsitesGetting Started:You will receive an activation code and URL from the company whose accounts are being secured by PhoneFactor. Enter this information into the PhoneFactor app. You can activate multiple companies and accounts.

    Works with 5x server versions when backend is properly configured. Needs to be setup on the user account first by issuing an activation pin and providing external activation URL as configured on the master server for your organization. Only gripe is when you get the toast notification you barely get a blue bar to touch in the app, then an activate button. Easy fix for the developers, app works great besides that.

    My phone would not activate until after my Systems Administrator installed an update on our server. Now it works like a champ.

    It won't activate on WP8. Continuously gives activation failed message. Server is running latest and greatest, even did a factory reset on Lumia 820. Fail.

    This works flawlessly, the QR code support makes it dead simple. The notes should say to make sure your back end PhoneFactor server is upgraded to version 5.09 or later or it won't support this Windows Phone client. I was on 4.x and it wouldn't work, only took about 10 minutes to upgrade and get working , highly recommend.
