The Identity Map / MFA

Passwordless & MFA / Strong Authentication

Phishing-resistant login: passkeys and FIDO2, hardware keys, biometrics, and push.

This branch is the industry's answer to the password and to the phishing that defeats most legacy MFA. Hardware keys, passkeys, device-bound credentials, and biometrics replace shared secrets with cryptographic proof that cannot be phished or replayed. Adoption is accelerating as passkeys move from novelty to default across consumer and workforce login alike.
