Passwordless Access for State & Local Government

Empower city and county workers with secure, fast, and flexible workstation access — no phones, no tokens, no passwords.

State & Local Government Has Unique Access Needs

From permit offices to public works and law enforcement, municipal workers share devices, rotate shifts, and operate in hybrid connectivity environments. Credenti enables fast, secure login for any authorized employee using their badge or QR code — even when offline.

Industry Challenges

  • Shared workstations across agencies like police, fire, public works, and county offices
  • Maintaining individual accountability on shared accounts and systems is challenging
  • Credential sharing and password reuse between departments
  • Complex management of multiple authentication methods across diverse departments
  • Some departments do not issue phones, and personal devices may be restricted or prohibited
  • Offline or partially connected field systems limit authentication reliability
  • Balancing security with quick access for first responders and field agents
  • Need to meet CJIS, NIST, and state audit requirements

How Credenti Solved This

  • Provides secure, passwordless authentication using badge-tap or QR-based login methods
  • Ensures accountability by linking each access event to an individual verified identity
  • Allows city staff to log in instantly, maintain session continuity, and stay compliant without relying on phones, passwords, or tokens.
  • Works both online and offline to support field workers and shared agency systems
  • Reduces IT burden by simplifying authentication across all departments
  • Supports multiple authentication factors to meet complex workflows across diverse government operations
  • Improves compliance and traceability with full audit logs for every access event
