IT and administration
The two-factor codes for our shared accounts are on one person's phone, so every sign-in means asking "can you send me the code?"
I'm in a meeting right now, I'll send the code later…
Two-factor authentication keeps accounts safe, but with shared accounts it becomes a problem too. When the person with the code is away, nobody can sign in. With Samurai App, save the authenticator key in a vault, and any member it is shared with can get the code.
Every sign-in waits on one person#
- Try to sign in to a shared account and get asked for an authentication code
- Ask the person with the code over chat and wait for a reply
- If they are off or on the move, work stops because nobody can sign in
How it changes with Samurai App#
- STEP 1
Save the authenticator key in a vault
Save the authenticator key, and you can show and copy two-factor codes from the vault. For each vault, you decide who it is shared with and what they can do.
See Password manager - STEP 2
Fill in sign-in pages with the Chrome extension
The password Chrome extension fills in your ID, password, and authentication code on sign-in pages you open. It can also fill in codes sent to Gmail or Outlook.
See Password manager - STEP 3
When AI signs in, one press enters the code
When AI is asked for an authentication code while signing in, a card appears in the conversation, and when a person presses it, the code from the password vault is entered.

An estimate of the time saved#
- Today
- 13 h 20 min / month
- With Samurai App
- 1 h 20 min / month
- Estimated reduction
- About 90%
That works out to about 144 hours freed up in a year.
Assumptions
4 sign-ins a day × 10 minutes asking for the code and waiting × 20 days a month comes to 800 minutes a month. With Samurai App, we assumed 1 minute per sign-in, 80 minutes a month, for getting the code from the vault and entering it.
This is a rough figure calculated from assumptions, not a measured result. With different volumes or steps, the result changes too.
What your days look like once it is solved#
Sign in even when the owner is away
Any member the vault is shared with can get the code.
Keep two-factor on
No more turning off two-factor authentication because sharing it is a hassle.
Quick handovers when people move or leave
Change the vault's members, and who can get the code changes with it.
Everyday work comes together, connects, and becomes the company's strength.
