# Secondary Authentication

The BlueFletch Launcher can be configured to require an additional form of authentication when a device's screen is unlocked while Launcher is logged-in through the Authentication module. Reauthentication can be configured as a personal identification number ([PIN](/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/authentication-and-sso/features/secondary-authentication/pin.md)), [face recognition](/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/authentication-and-sso/features/secondary-authentication/face-recognition.md), a near-field communication ([NFC](/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/authentication-and-sso/features/secondary-authentication/nfc-tag.md)) tag, or a [barcode](/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/authentication-and-sso/features/secondary-authentication/barcode.md). Primary and [alternate](/bluefletch-enterprise/product-guides/authentication-and-sso/features/secondary-authentication/alternate-secondary-authentication.md) reauthentication options can also be set.\
