**Zextras Auth** is a feature implemented as a **Zimbra zimlet**.  Among other things, it allows **users** to control and manage access credentials for their own mobile devices and apps.

<note warning>Once you start using **Zextras Auth**, you will have to use it for all your mobile devices and apps (except CardDAV apps which still use the ZWC credentials).  This includes **Microsoft Outlook** and **Outlook Mobile** app.</note>

<note>By default, all devices and apps use the Zimbra Web Client (ZWC) credentials.  **With Zextras Auth, you will have a different and very secure password for each mobile device or app.**</note>

<note tip>In the event of a lost or stolen device, Zimbra users can even **remotely wipe** a connected device without needing an administrator.</note>

===== Why Zextras Auth =====

E-mail security, hacking and malware infections are a huge concern these days.  Zextras Auth aims to mitigate these risks.

Almost everyone has had a situation where they were forced to **reconfigure all of their mail client apps and devices** when they changed or lost their Zimbra Web Client password.

Using Zextras Auth, each app and device has a very secure and independent password that significantly improves security by creating strong passwords that only work on the intended device.  This means that in the event of a compromize, the stolen credentials will not be useful to the attacker.

Further, if a device is lost or stolen, it is easy to revoke the password for specific device (or remotely wipe it) without having to reconfigure **all** your other devices.

===== Using Zextras Auth =====

**Zextras Auth passwords don't need to be managed, written down or remembered.**  In the event of needing to know the password for your app or mobile device, you **just create a new password with a couple of clicks**.  This too improves security significantly.
