Installation and Enrollment

Step 1 — Install the mobile app

  • Supported: Android 14+ and iOS 18+ (use the email link from Firebase or Testflight).
  • You may need to temporarily allow installs from outside the Play/App Store; re-enable protection after installing.

Permissions the app may request

  • Bluetooth (for Windows enrollment and device transfer)
  • Camera (to scan QR codes and capture fingerprints)
  • Biometrics (to secure passkeys)
  • Notifications (for important authorization events)

Step 2 — Enable Dapple as a Credential Provider (if prompted)

  • Android: Settings → search for passkeys → Passwords, passkeys, and autofill.
  • iOS: Settings → General → AutoFill & Passwords.

Step 3 — Create or recover a Dapple profile

On first run, choose to enroll a new profile or recover an existing one.

  1. Tap SIGN UP to create a profile.
  2. Read and accept the informational screens and license agreement.
  3. Choose which hand to capture and grant camera permission if requested.
  4. Capture fingerprints: place all four fingers together in the camera frame and follow on-screen hints; repeat four captures for consistency.
  5. The app generates your Dapple passkey (from biometrics) and registers your profile with Dapple cloud.
  6. Save the passkey when the OS prompts you (select Dapple if multiple providers are present).
  7. Authenticate (biometric or device passcode) to confirm the passkey.
  8. Save the recovery key (QR) in a secure location.
  9. When you reach the accounts screen, setup is complete.

Dapple acts as a passkey manager; you rarely need to open the app except for recovery, account management, or transfers.

Windows installation & enrollment (summary)

Requirements: Windows 11 22H2 or later with Windows Hello enabled.

The Windows installer (MSIX) installs three components: a user-mode driver, the Dapple Authenticator service, and the Dapple Authenticator application. All three components are required. If the service is not running, the app will give a warning and not function until the service is available.

Enroll a Windows device:

  1. Run the Windows installer and select Yes when asked whether you have a Dapple profile; the PC will display a rotating QR code.
  2. On mobile: Menu → Transfer Recovery Key → scan the PC QR code.
  3. Devices establish an encrypted Bluetooth connection; this can take up to two minutes and may require pairing via OS prompts.
  4. After transfer, the Windows device will regenerate the Dapple passkey, log into the Dapple cloud, and sync passkeys from the cloud.

Troubleshooting:

  • Retry Bluetooth if the connection fails.
  • Ensure the Dapple service is running on Windows.
