- Require – Sets how often the app password is required. The default of Every Time will require you enter your app password any time you leave mobilEcho and return. You can instead set Require to a grace period. If you leave mobilEcho and return before the grace period elapses, you will not have to enter your app password.

Setting An Application Password
An application password can be set manually from the mobilEcho Settings menu or automatically when accepting a management policy. If the management policy does not require an application password, you can set one manually.

1. Tap the Settings icon.
2. Tap the App Password option.
3. Turn ON the App Password.

To change your current application password tap Change Password, which is available after a mobilEcho app password has been configured. If you change your application password, you will be prompted to enter your current password before you enter the new one.
If your client management profile requires an application password to be set, follow these steps:
1. After initiating mobilEcho Client Management setup, mobilEcho will prompt you to create a password.
2. Enter and confirm a password, then tap OK.
