Our Advantage
The 1Kosmos Advantage
1Kosmos gives organizations using Entra ID a safe and secure way to get new users and new organizations rapid access to digital services without flooding the Service Desk with requests for account opening and password reset.
Through a powerful self-service identity verification workflow and a passwordless MFA credential, users can scan a QR code or click a smartlink to reset passwords or initiate their onboarding journey.
Security teams set the identity assurance levels for different users and systems based on business needs. 1Kosmos does the rest, providing a consistent passwordless MFA experience across Active Directory, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Unix, plus legacy systems.
Key Use Cases:
- Deploy 1Kosmos as an External Authentication Method (EAM) within the Entra Platform
- Facial biometrics with liveness
- Passwordless MFA for more environments
- Identity verification up to IAL2
- Interoperability and extensibility
- Authentication resiliency
- Self-service password reset and account recovery
- Upgrade to decentralized identity
- Passwordless access for restricted environments
- Secure remote and virtual desktop login
1Kosmos can easily enhance an organization’s Microsoft investment by filling in the identity and authentication gaps a Microsoft deployment can introduce.
External Authentication Method (EAM)
Organizations can leverage 1Kosmos as a Microsoft External MFA provider to protect all resources behind ADFS or Entra ID. Use conditional access to manage roll out to select groups of users or applications. Leverage any of the 11 authenticators matched to risk or levels of identity assurance, including facial biometrics.
Verified Identity
Ease employee onboarding and deliver a high level of trust behind every login for specific systems or groups of users by implementing high assurance identity verification. Suitable to support even the most privileged, mission-critical functions. Verification support for 158 countries and 1000’s of documents to protect Entra or non-Entra applications, services, data, and systems.
Trust on First Use (TOFU)
Eliminate the “Trust on First Use” (TOFU) gap when users transition to new systems via a passwordless experience into new devices, eliminating the previously required username and password.
