What’s inside

1Key by 1Kosmos helps organizations eliminate passwords in environments where mobile devices are prohibited. Using a single biometric key anchored at the workstation, it authenticates unlimited users with phishing-resistant fingerprint security, requiring no individual token provisioning and no per-user hardware management.

This datasheet covers the full 1Key capability set:

• Password-based authentication breaks down without mobile devices

• One key per workstation, unlimited users, no per-user tokens

• On-device AES-256 encryption and FIDO2-certified authentication

• Industry use cases: BPO, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail

• Technical specs, IAM integrations, and a four-week go-live path

Traditional FIDO keys follow the user

But in phone-restricted environments, including call centers, factory floors, and shared workstations, that model breaks down. Issuing one key per user means buying, tracking, and replacing hardware at scale. Lost keys also create lockouts, and shared keys undermine the security model entirely.

For organizations with high employee turnover, the operational overhead compounds quickly.

1 key, unlimited users

A single 1Key lives at each protected workstation. Employees register their fingerprint once during onboarding and authenticate passwordlessly on any 1Key-equipped desktop in the environment, with no separate registration required for Windows login, applications, or services.

AES-256 encryption processes fingerprint data entirely on-device. Only cryptographic hashes are stored; biometric templates are never transmitted, and there is no central biometric database.

Proven at scale

At a global BPO provider, 1Key supports passwordless authentication for 450,000 contact center agents across 80 countries. Working production capability took 20 days, and full production deployment completed in six months.

The platform now processes over 10 million authentications weekly across more than 5,000 applications.
