Strong Authentication

Secure Every Identity with Strong Authentication

Move beyond passwords with modern, risk-based, multi-layered security for any user, any app, anywhere,
all with AI-assisted drag and drop flow.

Eliminate password risk with
strong authentication

Strong authentication is a high-assurance security approach that replaces weak authentication methods such as password-only logins with cryptographically secure, phishing-resistant, multi-layered verification, reinforced by real-time risk intelligence to eliminate single points of failure and protect your organization’s users and assets.

Benefits of strong authentication

Eliminate weak shared secrets

Passwords are no longer secret. Credential stuffing and phishing bypass logins. Strong authentication requires proof that cannot be guessed, stolen, or intercepted.

Defend against AI-powered attacks

AI automates social engineering and brute-force attacks at scale. Traditional security is static. Strong authentication validates every access attempt using real-time risk signals.

Enable Zero Trust security

With Zero Trust, the network is assumed compromised and identity becomes the perimeter. Strong authentication verifies every user before accessing sensitive data.

Reduce regulatory and financial risk

Global mandates like PSD2 and NIST 800-63B require high-assurance security. Failure risks fines, legal exposure, and loss of consumer trust.

Strong authentication with WSO2 Identity Platform

Dynamic intelligence with
adaptive MFA

Move from static security to real-time risk-based authentication. WSO2 IAM evaluates device, geolocation, and behavioral signals, escalating verification only when risk appears.

  • Seamless access: Fast, frictionless login on recognized devices keeps security invisible for low-risk tasks, boosting productivity.
  • Adaptive verification for high-value transactions: Step-up authentication triggers only for high-risk actions or unfamiliar locations, balancing security and convenience.

Passwordless authentication

Replace passwords with secure, multi-modal passwordless authentication. WSO2 IAM supports Passkeys, Biometrics, Magic Links, and OTPs to eliminate credential vulnerabilities.

  • Frictionless one-touch logins: Users gain instant, effortless access without passwords and reset cycles.
  • Intent-based verification: Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or secure email links for fast, seamless login.

Social onboarding and login

Enable one-click onboarding with Google, Apple, Facebook, and LinkedIn. WSO2 IAM reduces registration fatigue, lowering abandonment and accelerating user adoption.

  • Instant, registration-free access: Users skip lengthy forms and log in instantly with their social identity reducing drop-offs.
  • One-click federated identity: Sign in via Google or Apple, securely create or link profiles with one click, no passwords needed.
