The smart authentication enables application access using dual authentication methods. The first method is the conventional username and password combination. The second one is smart code authentication in which your smartphone is used. The second method is added to the first one to add an extra layer of protection to your app. Even if your username and password falls into wrong hands, they can't access the app, because they don't have your smartphone.
When you run your application, it presents the conventional username and password for initial authentication. Once you are authenticated, a message containing 6 digit code is sent to your registered smartphone. A small text box pops up on the login page at the same time to receive the 6 digit code. Once this code is verified, you are landed on the home page.
