About Us

About Us

Hideez aims to transform the way people and organizations approach security by making it seamless, intuitive, and free from unnecessary barriers. We believe that great security doesn’t have to disrupt workflows — it should enhance them. For too long, authentication has been a pain point, slowing down innovation and workforce productivity.

Our mission is to enable a smooth transition to passwordless authentication while bridging the gap between digital and physical access. Trusted by customers across the globe and backed by industry leaders, we are redefining what it means to feel secure. The future of security is simple, unified, and password-free — and we’re making it a reality.

Our story

Our story

Hideez was founded in 2017 in response to a personal cybersecurity breach of our CEO. After experiencing the theft of his bank account identity and savings, he envisioned the creation of the Hideez Key — a multifunctional security device designed for wireless authentication, password management, and proximity-based PC access, uniquely combining logical and physical access in one compact tool.

What began as a solution for personal security quickly gained traction in professional environments, proving its value in workplace scenarios. This success inspired the development of an enterprise-grade solution built around passwordless identity management, incorporating the most advanced tools for secure and efficient access.
