Procountor Key is a new mobile application that allows you to securely log into Procountor without one-time passwords. Procountor Key replaced the previous Finago Key application (March 18, 2023). Logging into Procountor takes place with a username and personal password, after which the login is confirmed with Procountor Key. Alternatively, you can continue to login using one-time passwords.
- Procountor Key is free for all Procountor users and available for iOS and Android devices.
- Procountor Key features versatile identification options and can also be used with several usernames and devices.
- The Key is also used for confirming payments in Procountor Mini and Procountor Solo.
- Procountor Key is secure and always requires identification (biometric or PIN) before login or payment confirmation.
Implementation of Procountor Key
Log in requires a username and personal password. After this, the login is confirmed either through mobile confirmation or through a one-time password from the password list.
With the instructions below, you can replace password list with the new Procountor Key application.

If your password list is lost, click the Lost your password list? link to receive a new one-time password.
IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCOUNTOR KEY

PAIR MANUALLY BY SCANNING THE QR CODE
Scan the QR code with the Procountor Key -app. The QR code is active for 2 minutes. If the code expires, the Activate new QR code button appears for reactivating the code.
Open the Procountor Key application, you will enter a view in which the application confirms that you can see the QR code on the login page. Click Yes - scan QR code.
The application requests permission to use the camera. Allow using the camera so that the QR code can be scanned.

CHOOSE THE IDENTIFICATION METHOD
6. Next, the application asks for the identification method to be used for logging in going forward. The alternatives are to allow the use of biometric data (face or fingerprint recognition) or use a PIN code.
- If you allow the use of biometric data, Key requests permission to use fingerprint or face recognition. The biometric data used for identification depends on what you have set as the identification method on your phone. In addition, you must set a PIN code during the first login, even if you chose biometric authentication.
- If you skip the use of biometric data, the application requests you to create a 6-digit PIN code to be used for logging in going forward.
ALL DONE!
7. After setting the authentication method, you have registered Procountor Key to your device.
From now on login takes place using the username, personal password and Procountor Key.
