Meet assurance requirements at sign-in

Set the authentication strength each interaction requires. IDMe supports NIST SP 800-63-3 AAL1 and AAL2 with phishing-resistant options, and prompts for step-up when your policy calls for it.

  • Passkeys and security keys using FIDO2/WebAuthn
  • IDMe Authenticator App with push and offline TOTP, including EPCS support
  • Enhanced SMS, voice codes, and backup codes

Common step-up moments include account recovery, privileged access, sensitive transactions, authenticator changes, and suspicious sign-ins.

Protect accounts from takeover

IDMe evaluates device, network, credential, and behavioral signals at sign-in to detect likely takeover attempts and return a decision to your system.

When risk or account status changes, IDMe sends near-real-time notifications to your security systems. Reports and APIs help your team investigate and suspend at-risk accounts.

Frequently asked questions

What MFA and authentication methods do you support?

IDMe supports passkeys, hardware security keys, authenticator-app codes and push notifications, SMS and phone codes, and backup codes. Authentication supports NIST SP 800-63-3 requirements at AAL1 and AAL2, including phishing-resistant options such as passkeys and security keys.

Do users have to re-verify their identity at every login?

No. Routine sign-in uses the user's chosen MFA method. Additional identity verification is requested when your policy or a higher-risk transaction calls for it.

Do you apply risk-based step-up authentication?

Yes. IDMe adds authentication steps when risk or your policy calls for higher assurance, rather than at every login.

How does IDMe help reduce account takeover?

IDMe helps reduce account takeover by combining MFA with device, network, credential, and behavioral risk signals, along with account recovery and lifecycle controls.
