Fingerprint or Face ID Authentication

Fingerprint or face ID authentication identifies you or any user digitally through fingerprint or face pattern recognition and then authorizes access to the application.

If the fingerprint or face ID feature has been enabled on your device, the Use Fingerprint/Face ID option is available on the Login screen. On your initial login, you have the option to use fingerprint/face ID. Depending on the type of authentication that you registered on your device settings, you can use either your fingerprint and/or your face ID. You can also enable or disable the fingerprint or face ID login on the Settings screen.

Note: When you update your Ajera Time & Expense from a lower version to 4.0, you are required to enter your user name and password again. This step enables you to set up face or fingerprint ID for future logins.

Administrators control this feature through server-side configuration. When the administrator switches on the fingerprint/face ID feature on the server's setting, you can use this feature in Ajera Time & Expense.

Biometric Countdown

If you have biometric login enabled, Ajera Time & Expense now automatically initiates biometric authentication a few seconds after you open the application - so you can get in faster without having to tap anything.

When you open the application with biometric login enabled, the login screen displays a 4-second countdown along with the message "Biometric login will occur in 4 seconds." Once the countdown reaches zero, biometric authentication triggers automatically and you are taken straight to the home screen upon success.

You do not have to wait for the countdown to finish. You have the following options at any point:

• Tap Cancel auto login to stop the countdown and choose your preferred login method manually.
• Tap Use Fingerprint or Use Face ID to skip the countdown and trigger biometric authentication immediately.
• Tap Use username and password to go directly to the credential login screen.
• Switch to another app or minimize Ajera Time & Expense to permanently cancel the countdown - when you return, you will need to select a login method manually.

Note: Once the countdown is cancelled by any of the above actions, it will not restart even if you stay on the login screen.

If you manually log out, the auto-biometric countdown will not display on the next login screen. You need to select your preferred login method manually.
