WatchGuard AuthPoint allows you to authenticate to company networks and cloud applications directly from your smartphone. It replaces the need for physical keyfobs or thumb drives by enabling secure, speedy push-based authentication and offline authentication via QR codes.
Key features include convenient and secure push notification authentication, offline authentication using QR codes with the phone's camera, additional storage for various authenticators (like Google Authenticator, Facebook, Dropbox), quick self-service token migration when changing phones, and customizable tokens with unique names and pictures.
The AuthPoint app itself is free to download and use. However, it requires the activation of the AuthPoint service, which is offered by WatchGuard and may have associated costs depending on your organization's subscription.
The app allows you to authenticate right from your own phone, implying compatibility with smartphones. Specific operating system requirements (like iOS or Android versions) would typically be found in the app store listing.
AuthPoint helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data by providing a secure authentication method. By using your phone for verification, it mitigates risks associated with lost or stolen credentials, ensuring only authorized users can access protected resources.
