OneLogin Protect

One Identity LLC

About this app

OneLogin Protect asks you to confirm login attempts on your phone or watch, to better secure your organization’s apps.

How it works

After you type your username and password into OneLogin web portal (https://yourcompany.onelogin.com), OneLogin Protect asks you to confirm the login on your phone. Click Accept, and you’re signed into OneLogin. Alternatively, you can also tab SEND OTP to push the OTP (one-time password).

On the other hand, if someone tries to log in as you, you click Deny, they’re shut out of OneLogin, and OneLogin notifies your IT department so they can follow up.

Why consider

OneLogin Protect is a rethink of multifactor authentication, sometimes called MFA, two-factor authentication, or 2FA. Whatever you call it, MFA has been too annoying for too long, interrupting people when they’re trying to get work done.

So, we designed OneLogin Protect to reduce interruptions to your workday by:

* Displaying push notifications when there’s a new login attempt, so you don’t have to go hunting for the OneLogin Protect app among the dozens of apps you probably have on your phone.
* Eliminating the frustration of manually entering a one-time password in a short time period.
* Sending notifications to your watch, so you can Accept or Deny login attempts without pulling out your phone.

Requirements

To use the OneLogin Protect app, you must have an active OneLogin account. This may already have been provided to you by your organization. Contact your IT department if you are unsure or need information about your account.

Ratings and reviews

Lots of issues: They assume you will keep 1 device for your whole career, & make it impossible to switch devices without your IT department, if they let you generate new activation codes to transfer to other devices it would fix this. Slow to pick up notifications. If you manually put the code in too slowly, your device will sit & load until the code refreshes & denies access. Main thing is just transfer difficulty

Our school required this a few years ago and foe some reason still does. I hate it with an undying passion. Trust me if you can avoid it don't get it. I had to restart my password dozens of times and occasionally had to get school support to reset everything. I can't tell you how many assignments I had to hold of due to techniquelly difficulties. If it was possible to physically burn an app than I would do so to this garbage.

I have used this app for a year or two now and I got the push notifications when I first started but, that only lasted for a month or so. Having to log into the app and enter the code manually when I'm in a rush it a bit of an inconvenience. Regardless of how many times I reinstalled the app the push notifications never work.
