Step Up Authentication: The Balancing Act

Step-up authentication adds an extra layer of security for high-risk actions like credential changes. While essential for protection, organizations must balance the need for stronger security with maintaining a smooth user experience, as added steps can create friction.

Leveraging facial biometrics for high risk actions

For actions requiring higher identity assurance, Keyless uses privacy-preserving facial biometrics to validate users with a single glance at their device's camera. Unlike costly and insecure SMS OTPs, facial biometrics deliver the highest level of identity assurance.
Keyless integrates with major identity orchestration and risk platforms, enabling trigger-based step-up authentication for high-risk sessions. This allows businesses to control user journey friction where it matters most.
