THE CHALLENGE

## Logins Are Scattered.   
 So Is Security.

### Poor Experiences

Different apps mean different authentication flows, creating more friction for users and more work for IT.

### Security Gaps

Legacy passwords and inconsistent MFA policies leave openings for phishing and account takeover.

### Hard-Coded Costs

When authentication lives inside every app, every update becomes an expensive development project.

THE SOLUTION

## One Place for All Authentication

Move authentication out of your apps and into a dedicated, policy‑driven service. Standardize login, go passwordless, add adaptive MFA, and integrate identity verification and risk, all without rewriting your apps. One experience for users. Stronger security across web, mobile, APIs, and legacy.

### Standards‑Based Protocols

Use open standards like OIDC, OAuth, and SAML to authenticate users and issue tokens for apps and APIs.

### Passwordless & Passkeys

Deliver fast, phishing-resistant login with biometrics and device-bound credentials that users love and attackers hate.

### Adaptive MFA & Risk Signals

Evaluate device, location, behavior, and risk context to challenge when stronger verification is needed.

### Universal Login

Deliver one branded authentication experience across all your apps with no code change required.

### Orchestration & Extensibility

Connect fraud detection, ID proofing, and analytics to auth journeys in a drag-and-drop interface.

### Hybrid & Legacy Support

Protect SaaS and on‑prem apps, VPNs, and legacy protocols under one authentication layer.
