RapidIdentity App vs Simeio Authenticator

Identity Automation makes it easier than ever to provide an additional layer of security when signing into work and personal apps with the RapidIdentity Mobile Application. The RapidIdentity Mobile Client enables organizations to use Push and Time-based One-Time Passcode (TOTP) authentication methods in place of passwords or as a second verification step during the login process to RapidIdentity and RapidIdentity SSO enabled applications. RapidIdentity TOTP works offline and does not require any cellular or wifi connection. The RapidIdentity Mobile Client can also generate TOTP passcodes for RapidIdentity and other personal SaaS services and web applications that support mobile-generated passcodes, enabling users to consolidate other authentication tools into a single app. It supports all the same apps supported by Google Authenticator, including Gmail, LastPass, Evernote, Dropbox, Facebook, and much more. With the RapidIdentity Mobile App, you can also lock specific passcodes behind a PIN or your phone Touch ID, so even if your phone is taken, your codes are not left exposed. When an organization employs RapidIdentity Mobile Client to facilitate authentication to their environment, it is necessary to have RapidIdentity Server version 4.8.2 or later to ensure the mobile device can receive notifications from RapidIdentity Server.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security system that verifies a user’s identity by requiring multiple credentials. It is a critical component of identity and access management (IAM). Rather than just asking for a username and password, MFA requires other—additional—credentials, such as a code /action from the user’s smartphone and biometric recognition. Simeio Authenticator app, even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to access your accounts without also having access to your smartphone to take the required action(Accept/Reject). This significantly enhances the security of your online accounts. When you register your account, you link it to a mobile device you own. Afterward, whenever you try to log in to your account it sends a push auth request to the associated device for confirmation. you can accept or deny the auth request. Push authentication is a mobile-centric authentication whereby the service provider sends the user a notification over the most secure available communication channel. The user responds to the challenge by acting to verify their identity and access the service. Note: While we are building the app for a specific organization(a local government) as a business, the app itself is going to be available to the general public which that government is providing to the citizens of the state, and not restricted to only employees and partners of the organization.
