Unlocking with a Recovery PIN

Using the HYPR Workforce Access Client

HYPR’s Recovery PIN functionality gives users temporary access to their workstation if they don’t have their mobile device or if they need to replace it with a new one for any reason. Recovery PINs are auto-generated by the HYPR Mobile app and stored on the server for retrieval by an Administrator when needed.

NOTE

To make Recovery PINs available to end users, an Administrator must first enable Recovery Mode on the Control Center Workstation Settings screen. The feature is disabled by default.

Requesting a Recovery PIN

In order to request a Recovery PIN, the user must contact the Administrator and provide the Machine Name and Username for the workstation that needs to be unlocked. This information can be displayed by clicking the Don't have your phone? link on the workstation login screen.
