As settings and setup vary according to the operating system of the device, the following setup sections are divided based on operating system: setup on iOS and setup on on Android.
Login options also vary depending on the operating system. Read more about logging in to F2 Touch on iOS and logging in to F2 Touch on Android.
Set up F2 Touch on iOS
In order to use F2 Touch, the app must first be set up to the correct server address.
To set up F2 Touch on an iPhone or iPad, tap Settings on the device.
Tap F2 Touch in the menu to navigate to the F2 settings screen.
Next to the “Server Address” field, enter the URL for F2 Touch. The URL is provided by cBrain.
In the settings you can also enable notifications and synchronisation of contacts to and from F2 Touch.
Log in to F2 Touch on iOS
When F2 Touch is set up and the app is opened, a login screen appears. Depending on the setup and the device running the application, there are several ways to log in to F2 Touch: Using your password, Touch ID, Face ID, or the “Remember me” function. Login method is chosen upon login.
If the “Touch ID” or “Face ID” login features are enabled in addition to “Remember me” in the organisation’s configuration, you can choose which login method to use. It is possible to switch login method as long as the configuration allows it.
For safety reasons F2 Touch asks you to re-enter your password every 30 days.
Log in with password on iOS
It is possible to log in using a password as when using F2 Desktop.
Fill in the “Username” and “Password” fields using the same information used to log in to F2 Desktop.
Then tap Log in to log in.
Log in with Touch ID on iOS
You can log in with Touch ID (fingerprint) on supported devices.
| Touch ID is activated through a configuration that is performed in cooperation with cBrain. |
Enter username and password, and then select the option “Log in with fingerprint” in the menu. Then scan your finger to activate the fingerprint scanner.
| Touch ID can only be activated after logging in using a password. |
When Touch ID is enabled, scan your finger to log in to F2 Touch.
Unsuccessful Touch ID login attempts are handled by your device’s operating system. iOS allows three failed login attempts, after which you must enter your password. Tap Cancel to return to the login screen.
Log in with Face ID on iOS
F2 Touch for iOS supports Face ID on iPhone X (or newer). This makes it possible to log in to F2 Touch using facial recognition.
| Face ID is activated through a configuration that is performed in cooperation with cBrain. |
Enter username and password, and then select the option “Log in with Face ID” in the drop-down menu. Your face is then scanned to activate the Face ID.
| Face ID can only be activated after logging in using a password. |
Log in with “Remember me” on iOS
You can log in using “Remember me”. This means you don’t have to enter your login information every time you open F2 Touch.
| "Remember me" is activated through a configuration that is performed in cooperation with cBrain. |
Enter the same username and password as in F2 Desktop. Then tap Log in.
The login page remembers the latest user, unless the user logs out of F2 Touch manually.
| A user with the "User administrator" privilege can log out another user of all F2 sessions. This will delete any "Remember me" information, which means you must log in using "Remember me" again. |

Tap Change user and enter the new login information. Then tap Log in.

F2 Touch Intune
cBrain offers an F2 Touch module that is compatible with Microsoft Intune. F2 Touch Intune has functions similar to that of F2 Touch, but is subject to the security model configured in Microsoft Intune by the organisation. Contact cBrain for further information.
Additionally, F2 Touch Intune can be configured so users can only log in through MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library). This configuration disables the login methods described above.
Contact cBrain for further information.
| F2 Touch Intune requires the F2 Touch add-on module. |
