What HID Approve is

HID Approve provides mobile authentication and transaction signing for consumer and workforce services. Users can approve access requests or sign transactions from a mobile device using push notifications, QR codes, or generated one-time passwords. Those passwords can be used when the phone has no internet connection. Consumer uses include banking transaction signing, payment approval, Strong Customer Authentication, and secure login for digital financial services. Workforce uses include VPN and remote-access authentication, corporate and cloud application access, and regulated workflows. Organizations can deploy HID Approve as a customizable mobile app or add authentication to an existing app using its SDK. The SDK connects to ActivID Authentication Server, ActivID Appliance, or HID Authentication Service; the cloud service also offers a REST API for managing device types, credentials, and authentication policies. HID lists Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows support, including a standalone .NET installer for Windows. The product supports team administration and directory sync. HID describes its cryptography as standards-based and states support for requirements related to PSD2 and Open Banking, EPCS, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. Pricing is on request, and no free plan is listed.
