# Installing Iru Access

> Install and set up the Iru Access app on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or PC so you can sign in quickly with a passkey and keep your device trusted for access.

**Iru Access** is the app you use to sign in to your organization's applications.
It holds a device-bound sign-in credential securely on your device and, on a
managed device, confirms the device is healthy so you can reach what you need.

<Note>
  Your IT team may deploy Iru Access to your device for you. If it's already
  installed, skip to [registering](#register-your-device). Otherwise, start from
  the invitation your organization sends you.
</Note>

## Install Iru Access

If the app isn't already on your device, install it from the **link in your
invitation** or your organization's **Iru Access download page** (you can scan the
QR code shown in the app's *Add New Device* screen or open the link). On iPhone
and iPad, Iru Access is also available on the App Store.

## Register your device

Opening your invitation brings you to a page where you choose how to register.
Choosing **Iru Access** launches the app and walks you through registration; you
can also register a standalone **passkey** or continue with a connected provider.
For how standalone passkeys differ from Iru Access, see
[Manage authenticators](/en/identity/end-user/manage-authenticators).

The Iru Access screens differ slightly by platform - follow the tab for your
device.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS, iPhone & iPad">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the invitation" icon="envelope-open-text">
        The link opens Iru Access on your device. If the link has expired you'll
        see **"Registration Failed"** - ask your administrator for a new one.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Review your details" icon="user-check">
        Iru greets you with **"Welcome, \[your name]"** and shows your
        **Username** and **Iru server**. Check they're right and choose
        **Continue**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Finalize registration" icon="fingerprint">
        On the **"Finalize Registration"** screen, confirm with your device's
        biometric or screen lock - **Touch ID** on a Mac, **Face ID** on an
        iPhone, or your device passcode/password. This secures your credential to
        the device.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Done" icon="circle-check">
        You'll see **"Registration Complete"**. Choose **Done** - on a Mac you
        land on your Home screen, on iPhone/iPad on your Account screen. You're
        ready to [open your apps](/en/identity/end-user/accessing-your-apps).
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    <Note>
      Iru Access on Windows requires **Windows 11, version 24H2 or later**, and
      uses **Windows Hello** (your PIN, fingerprint, or face) to protect your
      credential.
    </Note>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the invitation" icon="envelope-open-text">
        The link launches **"Iru Access Registration"** and briefly shows
        **"Reading registration info"** while it loads your invitation. If the
        link has expired, ask your administrator for a new one.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Review your details" icon="user-check">
        Iru greets you with **"Welcome, \[your name]!"** and shows your
        **Username** and **Iru server**. Check they're right and choose
        **Continue**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Finalize registration" icon="fingerprint">
        On **"Finalizing registration"**, **authenticate with Windows Hello**
        when prompted. This secures your credential to the device.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Done" icon="circle-check">
        You'll see **"Registration Completed"** and land on the **Iru Access Home
        Screen**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Turn on the passkey plugin" icon="toggle-on">
        So your browser can use Iru Access when you sign in, enable it once under
        **Settings ▸ Accounts ▸ Passkeys ▸ Advanced options** and turn on **Iru
        Access**. You're ready to
        [open your apps](/en/identity/end-user/accessing-your-apps).
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  **Apple Vision Pro** is supported - Iru Access runs there as the iPad app, so
  follow the **iPhone & iPad** steps above.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Set up more than one device - say your laptop and your phone - so losing one
  doesn't lock you out. See
  [Manage authenticators](/en/identity/end-user/manage-authenticators) for
  adding another device or a backup.
</Tip>

## Add another account

Iru Access can hold more than one account at once - handy if you have a second
Iru identity, such as a separate administrator account or an account at another
organization.

<Frame caption="The Iru Access menu on macOS - add a device or register another account.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/iru/J9e4tdSSyFEuoQS_/en/identity/images/iru-access-menu.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=J9e4tdSSyFEuoQS_&q=85&s=f6b1e393bcc97eaa09eeb95a2f38f9a5" alt="The macOS Iru Access menu bar menu, showing Add a new device, Register another account, Open Iru Admin Console, and Settings." width="854" height="718" data-path="en/identity/images/iru-access-menu.png" />
</Frame>

On a Mac, open the **Iru Access** menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen:

* **Register another account…** begins a fresh registration for an additional
  account - finish it from that account's invitation, exactly as you did the
  first time.
* **Add a new device…** registers this Mac against an account you already use on
  another device - see
  [Manage authenticators](/en/identity/end-user/manage-authenticators).

Each account you register stays available in Iru Access, so you can keep more
than one identity set up at the same time.
