Simple proof of passwords, bio metrics or private keys could be insufficient. X-Sense helps with additional proof which the impersonator will not have. X-Sense’s authentication involves both the server and the end-user to complete the process where most other 2FA solutions do not offer this unique feature. Only the registered client gets the option to scan or enter random number which has been displayed on screen. User has the following options: Scan the QR: which reads key-value paired data from QR and sends to the server along with user information.
