Login Security

Authentication

Single Sign-On (SSO)

How it works: Users log in to one identity provider (like Google or Facebook) and gain access to multiple other applications and services without needing to re-enter their credentials each time.

Benefits: Streamlines access, reduces the number of passwords users must remember, and can simplify the sign-up process.

Passkey (Yubikey)

A technology that uses cryptography to allow users to sign in to apps and websites without a password, relying on a private key stored on their device.

Magic Link

Magic link authentication is a passwordless login method where a user provides their email address, and a unique, one-time-use URL is sent to that email.

Password Manager

The simpler approach using a password manager to store your username and password.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Push Notifications: Users receive a prompt on their smartphone to approve or deny a login attempt, offering a quick and convenient approval process.

Mobile Authenticator Apps: These apps generate time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) for quick verification, often requiring just a few taps to authenticate
