Log in with device (no master password)

If your company does not require single sign-on (SSO) authentication, you can log in to Bravura Safe using a registered secondary device instead of your master password for a true passwordless experience.

  • Initiate a login from a Bravura Safe Web or Desktop application or a Bravura Safe Browser Extension.

    Note

    Bravura Safe cannot register a browser in incognito/private mode; therefore, log in with device will not work in Bravura Safe Web from a private browser window.

  • Approve the login request using a registered Bravura Safe Desktop or Mobile application.

    Note

    If two-step login is enabled for your account, you will still need to complete that authentication request (unless you have previously selected the Remember me option for the device).

Set up log in with device

Requirements:

  • For any devices you want to log in to using a secondary device, first log in to Bravura Safe using another method so your device is recognized. This registers the device.

  • Install a Bravura Safe desktop or mobile app and log in to the same Bravura Safe account and server on that device so you can respond to login requests.
