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.
