Test the Access App

Your Authentication Cloud instance comes with a single-page test web application so that you can discover the basic functionality of the Authentication Cloud using the Access App.

Install the test Access App

Open the single-page test application

1. Open the Nevis Portal, and click your Authentication Cloud tile.
2. Click Test & Debug in the bottom left corner, which opens your test application in the browser.

2. Open the test application in a browser.
3. Under Setup & Tokens, paste your Access Key in the Access Token field.
4. Click Check + Continue. If your Access Key is correct, the Register a new authenticator section opens automatically.

Using the account created, sign a simulated financial transaction using passwordless authentication.
