  Key Concepts:
  The authenticator mobile application is a component of the BC-IAM-SSO SAP Single Sign-On solution. It is a mobile application that provides an additional layer of security for users when logging into SAP systems. It works by generating a one-time password (OTP) that must be entered in addition to the user's username and password. This OTP is generated by the authenticator mobile application and is only valid for a short period of time.
  
  How to use it:
  To use the authenticator mobile application, users must first download and install the app on their mobile device. Once installed, users must register their device with the SAP system they are trying to access. This registration process requires users to enter their username and password, as well as a code generated by the authenticator mobile application. Once registered, users can log into the SAP system by entering their username and password, followed by the OTP generated by the authenticator mobile application.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  It is important to keep your authenticator mobile application up to date in order to ensure that it is secure and functioning properly. Additionally, it is important to keep your device secure by using strong passwords and two-factor authentication when available.
