Device Registration keeps your Ascend HQ secure by registering devices before granting access. You control which devices are approved and can revoke access at any time.
PIN Login is an optional authentication method that lets you log into Ascend HQ using a code instead of entering your full username and password every time. Ideal for speed and convenience on secure devices.
