TraitWare® Authentication vs AccessSecurium™

TraitWare® Authentication provides passwordless MFA-inherent access to protected applications, resources, and web sites by employing your mobile device as a “login token” or “authenticator”, eliminating dependence on the use of inconvenient and problematic usernames and passwords or separate hardware tokens. Security is improved because TraitWare was built from the ground up to include 2-factor MFA on every login. TraitWare® leverages patented technology which “binds” the User’s identity to their Mobile Device. In addition, it relies on your device biometrics and optionally a technology called PhotoAuth, an image-based unlock method, which prevents unauthorized users from accessing the TraitWare App. TraitWare allows the User’s Mobile Device to be used as a passwordless multi-factor authenticator where the two factors are: 1) “something you have”, which is the device itself which contains user and device traits; and 2) "something you are" using FaceID/TouchID or “something you know” which is your image-based PhotoAuth Sequence (which functions as a “visual PIN”). For even greater security, TraitWare also offers three-factor authentication, using a combination of FaceID/TouchID and a PhotoAuth sequence. Logins can additionally be locked down using admin-controlled geofencing. Please see our Terms of Service for information on use and our Privacy Policy.

AccessSecurium™ was initially developed as an authenticator app for the protected SWISS SECURIUM® platform for enterprise communication and collaboration, but now it can be also used as a stand-alone application for storing and managing time-based one-time password tokens (TOTP) for two-factor authentication (2FA). For the SWISS SECURIUM® platform users, the application also provides VPN access to platform services as additional security layer. Features: • Token & folder management • Adding and sharing tokens via QR code / manually typing secret • Generation of 2FA codes in the flight mode • Support for Touch & Face ID • Export / import of OTP token backup base (for the SWISS SECURIUM® platform users) AccessSecurium™ generates one-time passwords for two-step authentication, which provides additional level of the web account protection from hacker attacks. Life time of the generated code is 30 seconds, then this 2FA code changes into a new one. You can easily add tokens to AccessSecurium™ vault: just scan a QR code while turning on 2FA option for website or service. If QR code isn’t provided, you can add token by manual typing / copying a secret (special symbol sequence). One-time passwords can be generated even when your phone is in the flight mode, it doesn’t require an Internet connection. All your OTP tokens are stored only on your device. In case of device loss, it’ll be impossible to restore former token base. That’s why we recommend to create a backup and keep it in safe place or turn on additional secondary way of 2FA for your accounts for keeping full control over the account access. Pay attention to the app security, enable Security Code or Fingerprint authentication for it! AccessSecurium™ is a free authenticator using software tokens, which was designed for your convenience of use! AccessSecurium™ also is able to work for your private corporate security implementing standardized TOTP or HOTP protocols.
