Passwordless authentication verifies user identity without passwords, using fingerprint scans, facial recognition, or hardware security tokens instead. This approach relies on FIDO2 standards and cryptographic keys to prevent credential theft and phishing attacks while giving employees instant access to enterprise systems.

The benefits of passwordless authentication include cutting IT costs by 30%, blocking credential-based attacks, and giving employees instant two-second access without password management.

Users receive an enrollment invitation via email or SMS, then verify their identity by scanning a government-issued ID and capturing facial biometrics. Once verified, they set up their preferred passwordless method (Face ID, Touch ID, or 1Key) for all future authentications.

1Key uses fingerprint biometrics with register-once-use-anywhere capability. Users enroll their fingerprint once, and it's encrypted and stored on a secure server. They can then authenticate at any 1Key-enabled workstation in the network by touching the biometric reader.

Yes. 1Kosmos supports time-based OTP and offline authentication capabilities, ensuring users can access systems even without internet connectivity during travel, remote sites, or network outages.

1Kosmos verifies user identity with biometrics before resetting passwords for legacy applications. This stops social engineering attacks while enabling self-service password resets without help desk involvement.
