Strong Authentication
The WaTech Strong Authentication service verifies user identity with a two-part authentication process. It uses one item users know - a PIN - and one item that users have - a token to provide a one-time password. This provides a much stronger and more reliable level of authentication than a password.
This service can be used to verify the identity of users who access a variety of agency applications or resources, such as:
- Web applications.
- Wireless access points.
- Routers and switches.
- Virtual private networks (VPNs).
The token generates a unique pattern of digits that change every minute to generate the one-time code. Tokens are available to customers either as a physical hardware device that can be carried on a keychain or lanyard, or as a software application that can be installed on a supported mobile workstation or smartphone.
Features & Benefits
- Tokens are available as software tokens or as physical key fobs.
- Software tokens are available as applications on Windows, iPhone, and Android operating systems.
Pricing
The Strong Authentication service is billed monthly as a rated subscription service. Billing occurs only in the months when services are provided.
