Knox Authentication Manager (KAM) is a managed application for Samsung shared devices. KAM increases frontline worker productivity and can improve worker safety by reducing distractions caused by manual sign-ins.
KAM offers optional multiuser facial biometrics to speed-up shared device sign-ins. KAM’s seamless sign-in automation creates an SSO-like experience across all work apps that require manual sign-in. Users’ profiles are securely synced across shared devices so users can enroll once on a single device, and then pick up any other device to “make it their own” for the duration of their shift.
KAM uses the AccessibilityService API to automate sign-in flows. Workers’ user profiles are securely stored on company shared devices, securely synced across company shared device groups over WiFi, and are never accessible nor shared with anyone.
KAM works on fully managed devices in device owner (DO) mode only. Please see the admin guide for supported UEMs and other requirements: https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-authentication-manager/welcome.htm
