If your Identity as a Service account has been set up for Smart Login and you have a Mobile Smart Credential paired with your account, you will not be prompted for your user name and password when you attempt to authenticate to Identity as a Service. Your Mobile Smart Credential confirms your identity and allows you to access your account.
Smart Login to a computer requires some configuration by you in the mobile smart credential app and on the computer to which you will log in. Once configure, you will be able to log in without a password. See Log in with Smart Login for the log in experience.

You enter your smart credential PIN at the prompt.
Note: If you end the Bluetooth connection manually, auto-connection does not occur until you restart the computer or the app.
A Smart Credential attempts to access to an Identity as a Service resource.
An Identity as a Service login page appears with a spinner.
On first time login (while spinning), the smart credential app prompts you to authenticate.
You respond to the authentication challenge and, if successful, you are authorized.
Note: Smart Login is supported on Chrome and Edge. FireFox and Internet Explorer are not supported.
Subsequent login attempts to the resource using that same host/browser combination results in automatic authorization.
You will be prompted to re-authenticate to the browser in the following situations:
Log in to same computer but the user attempts Smart Login using a different browser
Log in to a different computer
Previously authorized browser has been upgraded
You attempt smart login with a smart credential identity not used before
