Passwordless Login for Frontline Manufacturing Workers

Eliminate forgotten passwords, slow logins, and shared credentials. Credenti delivers fast, secure access for frontline workers with no phones required.

The Problem with Phone-Based MFA

In industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and law enforcement, workers often can’t use personal mobile devices due to safety or security policies. On factory floors, around heavy machinery, or while wearing protective gear, using a phone for MFA is impractical or unsafe. That’s why Credenti enables authentication with the same badge workers already use for building access — bringing secure, hands-free login to environments where phones aren’t allowed or usable.

Industry Challenges

  • High employee turnover and seasonal labor
  • Limited access to phones or personal devices on the factory floor
  • Shared or multi-user workstations
  • Air-gapped or offline environments
  • Strict compliance with safety and security regulations (e.g., NIST, CMMC)
  • Maintaining individual accountability is extremely difficult on shared accounts or machines

How Credenti Solved This

  • Provides fast, passwordless authentication through QR-based or badge-tap login methods
  • Ensures individual accountability by linking every access event to a verified identity, even on shared devices
  • Supports environments where mobile phones or tokens are not practical
  • Delivers compliance-ready access with full audit trails for traceability
  • Can unlock shared workstations or serve as multi-factor authentication within IAM systems like Okta or Microsoft Entra

How It Works

Illustration of a worker in a safety gear approaching a locked or shared workstation in an industry. A lock icon is displayed on the screen, indicating the device is secured and awaiting authentication.

Approach

Worker approaches a locked workstation or shared terminal.

Illustration of a worker tapping an issued RFID or PIV/CAC badge on an attached reader to authenticate and unlock a secured workstation displaying a lock icon.

Authenticate

Tap ID badge on the RFID reader.

Illustration of a worker entering a PIN on a workstation after badge tap for confirmation of identity; screen displays a lock icon and PIN for secure access to systems.

Enter PIN

Enter a short PIN for identity confirmation.

Access Granted

Login completes without username or password — secure and instant.
