Mobile-First Passwordless MFA for Knowledge Workers
No username or password is required to access Windows or macOS machines — users authenticate directly via their smartphones using passkeys, biometrics, or proximity detection via BLE, ensuring a fast, secure, and seamless login experience.
Ideal for knowledge workers who want instant, secure access to their workstation — without typing passwords or carrying hardware tokens.
Core Capabilities
Biometric Authentication
Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or native Android biometrics with strong inherence-based identity assurance.
Passkey Support
Authenticate using FIDO2/WebAuthn passkeys for phishing-resistant, passwordless access to devices and applications.
Software-Based RFID Reader
Tap NFC-enabled physical access badges on the phone to unlock machines without requiring physical RFID readers.
Proximity-Based Unlocking
Automatically unlock workstations only when the user is physically nearby, verified via Bluetooth.
Offline Mode Support
Authenticate securely even in air-gapped or disconnected environments using pre-secured local credentials and device trust.
