How can You Benefit From passwordless SSO ?
- Improved Security: Passwords can be stolen or cracked, leaving enterprise networks vulnerable to attacks. Replace traditional passwords with stronger, more secure sign-in methods, such as biometrics or security keys.
- Reduced IT burden: Managing passwords is time-consuming and expensive for IT departments. Passwordless solutions eliminate the need to manage and reset passwords, freeing up IT resources for other tasks.
- Enhanced user experience: Passwordless login streamlines the authentication process, making it more user-friendly. This, in turn, can improve employee productivity and satisfaction.
- Compliance: Passwordless auth provides stronger authentication measures, enabling organizations to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more.

Authentication defined
What is the difference between authorization & authentication?
Authorization and authentication are two related but distinct concepts in the field of information security.
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or device attempting to access a system or resource. It ensures that the user or device is who they claim to be by verifying their credentials, such as a username and password or biometric data. Authorization, on the other hand, is the process of granting or denying access to a specific resource or system based on the user or device's authenticated identity and the permissions or privileges associated with that identity. It determines whether the user or device is allowed to perform a specific action or access a specific resource based on their authenticated identity.
In summary, authentication is the process of verifying identity, while authorization is the process of granting access based on that authenticated identity.
What is a authentication problem?
An authentication problem occurs when a user is unable to verify their identity to access a system or resource, often due to incorrect login credentials, expired or revoked credentials, or other issues. Securing identity and managing identity are key factors in preventing authentication problems and data breaches.
What are different types of authentication?
There are several types of authentication, including password-based authentication, biometric authentication, two factor authorisation, SAML-based SSO authentication, and FIDO2 Auth. Each type of authentication has its own strengths and weaknesses, and user authentication solutions should be chosen based on the specific needs and requirements of the organization.
What is Identity and access management?
Identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of policies and technologies used to manage and secure user identities and access to resources in an organization. IAM includes access and identity management tools, such as central authentication servers, user access management tools, and identity and access management services.
What is Authentication Oauth?
Authentication OAuth is a widely-used two factor authorisation protocol for authorization & authentication that allows users to share their data across different platforms and applications without having to reveal their login credentials. OAuth is based on one-time passwords and is often used for remote security access and identity management access.
What is SAML based SSO authentication?
SAML-based SSO authentication is an authentication mechanism that uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to provide a secure single sign-on experience for users accessing multiple applications and services. This mechanism is often used in access and identity management tools to provide user control access.
What is an IdP SSO?
An Identity Provider (IdP) Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication mechanism where a user logs in once to a trusted identity provider, and then can access multiple applications and services without having to re-enter their credentials. SAML based SSO authentication is one example of an IdP SSO mechanism.
What is passwordless authentication (FIDO2 Auth)?
Passwordless authentication, also known as FIDO2 Auth, is an authentication mechanism that allows users to access their accounts without having to enter a password. Instead, biometric authentication, hardware keys, or other authentication factors are used to verify the user's identity. FIDO2 Auth is becoming increasingly popular as a more secure alternative to password based authentication.
What are authentication tokens?
Authentication tokens are a critical component in securing identity and managing identity in organizations. They help amplify authentication by ensuring that only authorized users or devices can access sensitive information. Authentication tokens can take many forms, such as digital certificates, passwords, biometric data, or one-time codes, and can be used in various user authentication methods.
By implementing authentication tokens and other identity management best practices, organizations can better protect against identity theft, data breaches, and other cybersecurity threats. Overall, authentication tokens are a crucial tool in securing identity and maintaining the security and privacy of sensitive information.
What is an app authenticator?
An app authenticator is a type of authentication mobile app that provides an additional layer of security to users when logging into their accounts. It typically uses different forms of biometrics for authentication, such as fingerprint, face, or voice recognition. This process is known as biometric authentication, which is becoming increasingly popular as a more secure alternative to traditional password based authentication.
An authenticator app for desktop can generate one-time codes or time-based codes that users must enter when logging into their accounts on desktop computers. These codes are generated through an algorithm that is unique to the user and the device. This process ensures that even if a password is compromised, unauthorized access to the user's account is still prevented.
In conclusion, an authenticator app is a convenient and secure way to add an additional layer of protection to user accounts. With biometric authentication and other security features, these apps help to safeguard against unauthorized access and protect user data.
