• Key Concepts: 
  App passwords are a type of authentication used by SAP systems to provide an extra layer of security. They are used in addition to a user's normal password and are typically generated by the system administrator. The app password is a one-time code that is sent to the user's mobile device or email address and must be entered in order to access the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use an app password, the user must first be registered with the SAP system. Once registered, the user can request an app password from the system administrator. The administrator will then generate a one-time code and send it to the user's mobile device or email address. The user must then enter this code in order to access the system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep app passwords secure and not share them with anyone else. App passwords should also be changed regularly in order to ensure maximum security. Additionally, it is important to remember that app passwords are only valid for a single session and must be re-entered each time the user wishes to access the system.
