**Planned Changes** Android / iPhone / iPad – Retirement of Mobile PIN

These changes are part of the SAP Concur solutions continued commitment to maintaining secure authentication.

Targeted for the August (9.83) Mobile release, SAP Concur solutions plans to retire the Mobile PIN sign-in option in the SAP Concur mobile app.

With the retirement of the mobile PIN sign-in option, users will continue to be able to sign into the mobile app via the following methods:

Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Mobile SSO
- SAP Concur SAML v2
Username and password
E-mail address and password

Business Purpose / Client Benefit: The retirement of this feature better supports secure authentication by removing the less secure PIN option, simplifies the way users sign into the SAP Concur mobile app and makes the mobile sign-in experience more consistent with the web sign-in experience.

**Planned Changes** Android / iPhone / iPad – Redesign of the Sign In Page

Targeted for the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Mobile Sign In page will be redesigned and improved. The enhancements will improve the user experience, improve security and simplify configuration. It will also assist customers who use more than one Identity Provider (like OKTA or Azure) for Single Sign-On (SSO).

There will be additional changes, which will be described in future release notes.
