Passwords become obsolete
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication (2FA) are becoming the standard because they really protect the IT infrastructure of a university or school. However, it is a hassle for your teachers, students and faculty to remember personal passwords and possibly implement additional security measures. Enter password-less authentication, which simply replaces the password. They follow the principle: something the user has plus something the user knows.
Selection of FIDO & FIDO2 products in the PCP online store
Secure fingerprint access to the digital classroom / class register
A large number of internationally recognized companies are taking advantage of FIDO by opening their software application products for use with FIDO Security Keys.
Here is a growing list of companies.
In addition to flexible teaching methods and eager learners, the key to successful distance learning is a secure IT infrastructure. Therefore, it is important to have secure hardware and software. We help you to ensure two-factor authentication by using hardware tokens (OTP tokens) or biometric fingerprint-secured FIDO2 security keys, as recommended by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Microsoft or the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, to name just a few examples. FIDO stands for Fast Identity Online.
Why are FIDO keys or OTP tokens more secure than passwords?
- No one wants to remember more and more passwords!
- Users tend to use the same passwords over and over again.
- Many teachers and lecturers use insecure applications on the same mobile devices they use privately to access sensitive areas of the school’s IT infrastructure.
- Password/username combinations are deliberately obtained through phishing, malware attacks, or by hacking the servers themselves.
- Passwords are the cause of data breaches 81% of the time!
The solution:
FIDO Keys and OTP tokens enable secure, password-less multi-factor authentication that can be customized for many identities, profiles, devices, applications, apps, and IT firewalls.
