Keep your customers safe
Even if your users create strong passwords, it can be hard to keep that password secure from Identity threats. MFA helps you take care of your users by giving them the means to secure their accounts on your application.

Step-up authentication allows you to require stronger authentication when accessing restricted areas of an application, while allowing wide access to non-sensitive areas.

MFA can block 99.9% of account hacking attacks, but organizations shy away from it due to concerns about user friction.
Adaptive MFA allows you to present a challenge only when a login is deemed risky, balancing security and the user journey.

Phishing-resistant WebAuthn mitigates account hacking issues, while ensuring a smooth user authentication experience.

Despite having a range of needs, most users still have to authenticate using one method in most instances — passwords.
We support a number of different authentication factors, including WebAuthn, Push, and Ubikey, giving businesses and users the flexibility they need to authenticate how they want.
