Passwordless desktop authentication enhances security, improves usability and reduces costs for enterprises
Trusona, the pioneering leader in passwordless identity authentication, today announced the successful and rapidly growing deployment of its passwordless MFA solution for Windows 10 — enabling enterprises to provide enhanced security and usability to the workforce by removing passwords from the desktop sign-in experience.
Designed to address the needs of security leaders striving to quickly reduce risks across a remote workforce, the solution works with an enterprise’s existing infrastructure without requiring any software or hardware upgrades like Windows Hello, cameras, biometric readers or on-premises servers — making it the most cost-effective and user-friendly to deploy.
Trusona supports all connectivity use cases, authenticating employees with or without internet connectivity on their PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Additionally, the solution utilizes Trusona’s patented anti-replay technology to protect against credential replay attacks for increased security.
