Install the Authentication SDK for mobile devices

Learn how to install Adyen's Authentication SDK for iOS and Android devices.

To help you comply with PSD2, we provide a client-side Authentication SDK that combines the possession factor with either the knowledge or the inherence factor. The SDK helps you configure a two-factor authentication feature that requires a secondary verification method through a separate communication channel, such as a mobile phone.

With Adyen's Authentication SDK, you can:

  • Check if the user's device is eligible for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).
  • Register your user's mobile device to create device binding.
  • Authenticate your user's subsequent actions.

The Authentication SDK integration also enables you to implement out-of-band authentication for Adyen-issued cards.

System requirements

We provide the client-side Authentication SDK in the following languages:

  • Kotlin or Java for Android applications
  • Swift for iOS applications

Before you start implementing the SDK, make sure that your system follows the requirements.

  • Your application targets minimum Android API level 21 or later.
  • The authentication feature works on devices running on Android API level 26 and later.
  • The authentication feature requires Google Play Services on the cardholder's device.

To ensure the correct support type for 3D Secure on the card program, contact our Support Team.
