Recheck Access Requirement
Implementation Effort: Low
This setting is configured within existing Intune App Protection Policies and does not require infrastructure changes or device enrollment.
User Impact: Low
Reauthentication happens in the background or during app use and does not require user training or significant behavior change.
Overview
The Recheck Access Requirement setting in Microsoft Intune App Protection Policies (APP) defines how frequently users must reauthenticate to continue accessing corporate data. Admins can configure this interval in minutes, prompting users to re-enter their app PIN or corporate credentials after a defined period of app usage or inactivity.
This setting is available for both iOS/iPadOS and Android platforms and is part of the broader access requirements configuration. It ensures that even if a device is left unattended or compromised, access to corporate data is not persistent without revalidation.
This feature supports the Zero Trust principle of "Verify Explicitly" by enforcing periodic reauthentication based on time, reducing the risk of unauthorized access due to session hijacking or unattended devices.
