Purpose
Liquid UI for Android now supports the most advanced secure authentication process with the Security Lock feature. This feature authenticates your users' identity before they edit or connect to your SAP Server, thus protecting data from any unauthorized access. Once configured, users can log into SAP using their face or fingerprint, eliminating the need for manual username and password entry.
The security lock provides you with a two-factor authentication process, where users confirm their identity by either of the following options:
- Touch ID
- Face ID
The security lock feature is implemented at the SAP connection level. This feature prevents users from connecting to the SAP server or viewing their SAP connection details until they confirm their identity.
