Hardware Token-Based Supports hardware tokens, which are often USB-sized, fob-like devices that store codes. Software Token Offers software tokens, which are applications installed on a mobile phone, wearable devices, or desktops and generate time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) that a user can easily copy. Software tokens work both online and offline. Biometric Factor Allows biometric factors such as fingerprints, faceprints, voiceprints, or other biometric information to be used as an authentication factor. Mobile-Push Offers mobile push authentication, which is a user-friendly method that does not require a user to copy a code, but rather accept or deny an authentication using a mobile application.

Backup Offers encrypted backup recovery stored by the vendor. Show More ##### ## Integration (4) Uses Open Standards Connections use open standards such as SAML or RADIS. Mobile SDK Offers developers a mobile software development kit to seamlessly add biometric authentication into their applications. Workforce Authentication Integrates with identity and access management (IAM) solutions to manage workforce authentication. Customer Authentication Integrates with customer identity and access management (ICAM) solutions to manage customer authentication. Show More ##### ## Implementation (3) Easy Setup Offers an easy to understand user interface to make setup smooth. Mobile SDK Offers a mobile software development kit (SDK) for iOS, Blackberry, and Android. Web SDK Offers a software development kit (SDK) for web-based applications.
