    • Change password
    • Disconnect from server
    • Go to the app settings.

Using biometrics or device credentials to secure the app:

  • You can now use biometrics or your device credentials to verify your identity before you open the app. Quick authentication based on your fingerprint, facial recognition, or device credentials facilitates access to the MOBOTIX HUB Mobile client and improves the security of the app.

  • The MOBOTIX HUB Mobile client now supports mobile device management (MDM). With MDM, you can manage and secure devices, apps, and data from a unified console.

  • To receive notifications, you are no longer required to save your user credentials. If you haven’t saved your user credentials, you’ll be prompted to enter your credentials or use your external IDP login method each time before you open a received notification.
  • To receive notifications, you must enable the notifications setting on the app level (Android), mobile device, and server level.
