Set mobile re-authentication system properties so users must re-authenticate their login
credentials when performing specific actions.
To activate the re-authentication option, select `Re-authentication` in the
Preconditions field within the Action functions table. See, [Configure an action function](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_TmnVaryA~u81KEjPi2meQ "Action functions enable the user to change something in the database. For example, making an update or adding a comment to a record requires an action function.").
* **[Configure mobile re-authentication login method](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4aMIfjVH2VNFi8s3i_kdoA)**   
  Define the re-authentication method to be either single sign-on (SSO) or local login, depending on your security requirements.
* **[Configure mobile re-authentication SSO login](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_EFhwgakrUjNn2THyH1isg)**   
  Define which identity provider to use for the SSO login. If this property is not defined, the system reuses the default identity provider used for a regular login.
* **[Configure mobile re-authentication logout option](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XrqQwfGMFRqX26S0AoTR3w)**   
  Configure this parameter to force your users to log out each time before they re-authenticate.
* **[Configure mobile re-authentication for single or multiple use](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/VHvVmdQc2_qCJlNBhwavBQ)**   
  Define whether each mobile action requires re-authentication. Alternatively, define whether the user can perform multiple actions without the need to re-authenticate each time.
* **[Configure mobile re-authentication login timespan](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1cdqjqZCPF09s1EUv4u7hQ)**   
  Define a time period in seconds that a user is not required to re-authenticate themselves. This parameter only applies when a user has permission to re-authenticate multiple times.
