Passwordless Authentication

Stop Phishing Attacks with Passwordless Authentication

Eliminate passwords without sacrificing security: phishing-resistant access with passkeys, FIDO2, biometrics, email or SMS OTP, all with AI-assisted drag and drop flow.

Strong, password-free authentication for everyone

Passwordless authentication verifies users without shared secrets. Using passkeys, biometrics (e.g., fingerprint, facial recognition, hardware-backed credentials), and one-time codes, it blocks credential-based attacks and removes the overhead of managing passwords, without adding friction for the user.

Benefits of passwordless authentication

Reduce data breach risk

Passwords are the most common entry point for attackers. Removing them closes the door on phishing, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks.

Increase conversion

Passkeys and magic links reduce the friction that causes users to abandon registration or login flows.

Reduce helpdesk volume

Password resets account for a large share of helpdesk tickets. Removing passwords from the equation reduces that load directly and lowers the total cost of managing identity.

Gives employees fast access

Eliminating the password reset cycle means employees spend less time locked out and more time working. Biometric logins provide verified access to corporate resources from any device, without the wait.

Meet compliance requirements

FIDO2-based passwordless authentication satisfies NIST 800-63B (AAL3) and PSD2/SCA, giving regulated industries a clear path to compliant, phishing-resistant access.

Passkeys

Passkeys are phishing-resistant by design. There's no password to steal, guess, or reset, just a biometric check on the user's device.

  • Users sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or a device PIN. directly on their device.
  • Works natively across modern browsers and devices, no apps to install, no codes to remember.
majic links

Magic links

Magic Links enable secure, passwordless sign-in by sending a time-limited and signed link to a user’s inbox. With a single click, users are authenticated without creating a password.

  • One-click access: Users sign in instantly by clicking a secure link delivered via email or SMS.
  • Zero barrier to entry: No apps to install, no biometrics to configure, and no hardware required, magic links just work on any device.
SMS or OTP

Email or SMS OTP

Email and SMS One-Time Passwords (OTPs) deliver instant, reliable verification by sending a unique, time-sensitive code directly to the user’s trusted communication channel.

  • Instant, multi-device reach: Authenticate users anywhere using text or email, with no specialized hardware or biometrics required
  • Zero-config onboarding: Enable frictionless, just-in-time access.

FIDO2-certified biometrics

FIDO2-Certified Biometrics provide users with a fast, frictionless way to access their accounts using fingerprint or facial recognition, and removes the need for passwords or codes.

  • Effortless one-touch access: Verify identity in milliseconds using built-in sensors on devices eliminating the cognitive load of credentials.
  • Next-gen identity verification: Go beyond standard sensors with advanced technologies from partners like HYPR, TypingDNA, and iProov.
