Products
AuthAction supports a comprehensive range of
authentication methods including:
- Username/password authentication with robust password policies
- Multi-factor authentication (SMS, email, authenticator apps, biometrics)
- Passwordless authentication (magic links, one-time codes)
- Social login (Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Single sign-on (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect)
- Biometric authentication (fingerprint, face recognition)
- Passkey authentication (FIDO2, WebAuthn)
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional
layer of security by requiring users to verify their
identity using two or more verification methods:
- Something they know (password, PIN)
- Something they have (mobile device, security key)
- Something they are (biometrics like fingerprint or face)
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method
that allows users to access multiple applications
with one set of credentials. When a user logs into
one application, they are automatically
authenticated for all other connected applications
without needing to log in again.
AuthAction's SSO solution supports all major protocols including SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. Our implementation allows for seamless integration with your existing applications and third-party services, creating a unified authentication experience for your users while maintaining centralized control over access policies.
