HYPR Authentication

Do This First

This article assumes you have already completed the HYPR SDK for Android Quick Start before continuing.

SDK for Android​

Out-of-band (OOB) authentication uses Firebase to provide push notifications enabling passwordless login to a web account on a browser via your mobile device. This is a full HYPR implementation for direct communication with a HYPR RP Server / HYPR FIDO Server. Once configured, UI customization empowers you make it your own. The final step is to invite users to login for the first time using a Magic Link--a URL that uses the HYPR Mobile App to initialize the authentication process with a QR code scan.

Before performing OOB authentication, make sure to set up Firebase and your application:
Push Notification Setup.

By pairing your mobile device with your web account via OOB device setup, you will be able to login via OOB authentication with the following steps:

  1. Provide the web account username.

  2. Invoke the OOB authentication API; this will send a push notification to the mobile device prompting the mobile to authenticate.

  3. Upon successful authentication the web account will be unlocked.

SDK for iOS​

Out-of-band (OOB) authentication uses Firebase to provide push notifications, enabling True Passwordless authentication to a web account on a browser via your mobile device. This is a full HYPR implementation for direct communication with a HYPR RP Server / HYPR FIDO Server. Once configured, UI customization empowers you to make it your own.

To get ready for OOB authentication, you will set up Firebase by completing the Enabling Push Notifications.

The next step is to pair your mobile device with your web account via OOB device setup (instructions will be shown later). After performing OOB Device Setup, you can login via OOB Authentication with the following steps:

  1. Provide the web account username.

  2. Invoke the OOB Authentication API, which will send a push notification to the mobile device prompting the mobile to authenticate. Upon successful authentication, the web account will be unlocked.
