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 and protected resources.
Note: 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. See the section, Configure Smart Login authentication.

Windows Smart login to Identity as a Service
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 Google Chrome and Edge on Windows and Google Chrome only on a Mac. 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.
