The Thomson Reuters Authenticator mobile app is part of our multi-factor authentication system, which is an additional layer of security that protects the sensitive data within your Thomson Reuters applications.
If you’ve enabled multi-factor authentication but you can’t access your mobile device, contact your firm’s administrator — they can generate a 24-hour code that enables you to log in to your applications while you’re unable to access the mobile app.
Pair your device with your Thomson Reuters software login credentials
To begin using multi-factor authentication with the Thomson Reuters login credentials that you use to access your applications, you need to link your mobile device with that account.
- Navigate to the location where you manage your credentials and launch the multi-factor authentication setup wizard.
- If you haven’t already done so, follow the prompts in the setup wizard to install the Thomson Reuters Authenticator app on your mobile device.
- After you install the Authenticator app on your mobile device, click Next in the setup wizard to display the QR code.
- On your mobile device, tap the Scan QR Code button and point the camera at the QR code in the setup wizard. Your mobile device will automatically scan the code.
After your mobile device scans the code, the Thomson Reuters Authenticator mobile app is successfully paired to your account. You will use the mobile app each time you sign in to your Thomson Reuters applications.
Verify your identity when logging in to your Thomson Reuters applications
If you have multi-factor authentication enabled for your account, you’ll use the Thomson Reuters Authenticator mobile app to verify your identity when you log in to your Thomson Reuters applications.
- Open your Thomson Reuters application and sign in using the appropriate login credentials.
- On your mobile device, you will receive a notification from the Thomson Reuters Authenticator that prompts you to approve or deny the sign-in attempt. Tap Approve or the green checkmark in the mobile app to confirm your sign-in.
If you did not receive an approval request through the mobile app, you can use a temporary code generated by the app to enable you to log in.
- Open the Thomson Reuters Authenticator mobile app.
- On the Home screen, you’ll see a six-digit number listed for the Thomson Reuters application that you’re accessing. These codes expire and regenerate every 30 seconds.
- To sign in to that application, click the Enter a code from the app link in the application sign-in screen and enter that six-digit number from the Authenticator in the associated field.
