The Password method enables you to authenticate using a secret string. The enrolled password is stored locally in the Advanced Authentication. When you try to authenticate on any device, the specified password is compared with the actual password. If the passwords are identical, you are authenticated successfully.
To authenticate using the Password method, perform the following steps:
Specify the password of your Advanced Authentication account.
Click Next.
If the password matches with the enrolled password, the Password authentication is successful.
