Mac passwordless login

Authorize a browser for Smart Login with Entrust Identity as a Service

Use your Smart Card Identity to log in to your computer. See Mac Smart Login to Identity as a Service.

Note: On a Mac, this step is optional. As long as you have configured your Mac and Smart Card Identity for computer login, Smart Login to Entrust Identity as a Service works even if you used your user name and password to log in to the Mac.

Open a Google Chrome and go to your Identity Provider's Entrust Identity as a Service website.

Note: On Mac, only Google Chrome supports this feature.

You receive a notification on your mobile device asking if you want to authorize the browser. Tap Yes within 15 seconds.

Enter your Smart Card Identity PIN.

If the authentication is successful, you are logged in to your Identity Provider's Entrust Identity as a Service website and the browser you used to log in appears in the Authenticated Browsers list on the details page for that Smart Card Identity.

The next time you log in to your computer with the same Smart Card Identity and open the authorized browser, you can access Entrust Identity as a Service and any of the applications it protects without having to authenticate again.

You will be prompted to re-authenticate Entrust Identity as a Service in the following cases:

When you log in using same computer but a different browser (one that you have not authorized yet).

When you log in from a different computer.

When a browser that you had authorized previously has been upgraded.
