Frequently Asked Questions

What is mobile authentication?

Mobile authentication refers to the process of verifying someone’s identity through their mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, before allowing them to use accounts or data. It leverages the convenience and assurance of features like biometrics, push notifications, and secure tokens to ensure that only authorized users access sensitive information systems.

With the ubiquity of smartphones and a growing number of cyber threats, securing such devices is more important than ever. Proper authentication not only protects against unauthorized access, but ensures users can establish accounts, make purchases, and conduct business safely.

What types of mobile authentication are there?

Mobile authentication can be implemented through various methods, including:

  • Biometric authentication: Uses fingerprint, facial recognition, or voice recognition to verify identity.
  • Mobile push notifications: Sends a secure prompt to the user’s mobile device, which they must approve to authenticate.
  • One-time passwords (OTPs): Generates a temporary, unique code sent to the user’s mobile device via SMS message, which must be entered to gain access.
  • Soft tokens: Provides a mobile-based application that generates authentication codes or enables secure access through the device.
