You’ll be taken straight to your Protiv dashboard.
Note: Some companies require email verification. If prompted, check your inbox and follow the link.
Step 5 — Set up biometric login (optional)
After your first login, Protiv may ask to enable biometrics.
You can choose:
- Face ID or fingerprint for faster logins.
- Skip and set it up later in Profile → Settings.
This is optional.
Examples
