4.3 Authentication Using the Smartphone Authenticator Fails

Issue: When you try to authenticate using the Smartphone authenticator, the authentication fails.

Reason: This issue occurs if there is no Internet connection on the server that processes the smartphone authentication requests or when the authentication times-out.

Workaround: Perform one of the following:

  • Navigate to the Enrolled Authenticators screen and use the One-Time Password (OTP) that is generated for an authenticator to authenticate without any push notification.

  • Initiate the authentication again. Do not wait for the push notification. Instead open the app and tap Accept to accept the authentication request.
