Desktop authentication – Microsoft Windows and macOS native login via OTP
LinOTP Authentication Provider – strong authentication for everyday life
The majority of desktop authentications still rely entirely on password logins. Enhance native Microsoft Windows and macOS logins via strong authentication and secure your Linux servers.
LinOTP Authentication Providers – Strong authentication starting with the first login
The LinOTP Authentication Providers allow for direct and native integration of strong authentication into your desktop and server systems. They can be used locally and also in remote desktop environments. All tokens supported by the LinOTP MFA platform can be used. Combined with LinOTP's state-of-the-art push and QR tokens, they allow you to meet high usability and security requirements for your environment.
By using the LinOTP push token your users can combine the high usability of modern smartphones with strong transaction security. In just a few steps, users can confirm a login, while in the backend the binding of the login to cryptographic information about the interaction guarantees high traceability and continuous security.
If your users are travelling or working without a direct connection to the central infrastructure, the integration of the LinOTP QR token offers a secure and easy solution. In addition to strong transaction binding, the technology of the QR token, based on public-private key procedures, allows for secure offline authentication. Logins can be performed securely without storing secrets on the device, which is to be authenticated.
