BIO-key announces new passwordless options at 2024 Gartner IAM Summit

BIO-key (BKYI) was proud to be recognized in two Gartner reports in the past twelve months. Both reports emphasize the importance of adopting passwordless authentication to mitigate security risks. To support organizations in their journey to passwordless, BIO-key has introduced additional options with its MobileAuth offering, demonstrating its commitment to secure and user-friendly authentication solutions. BIO-key’s MobileAuth biometric options include PalmPositive and FacePositive, which protect users from identity fraud and unauthorized access. Once biometrics are registered, only the authorized user can authenticate, significantly reducing the risk of fraud. Unlike Apple Touch ID or Face ID, which allow multiple users to register on a device, MobileAuth restricts access to a single authorized user for apps managed by the PortalGuard IDaaS solution. This ensures that no other users, “SIM-swappers,” or hackers with phished credentials can gain access-only the intended user can authenticate. BIO-key also supports push-token and on-device biometrics for those users where convenience is more important than security.
