Overall protection with two-factor authentication for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and all your mobile and desktop devices

Why use two-factor authentication? Because you are better protected against the theft of your login data by using two factors:

• Factor 1: Something you have (i.e., your own private encrypted 2048-bit key)—login is only possible on your computer where your SecSign ID has been installed.

• Factor 2: Something you know (i.e., your access password, which is never transmitted)— login on your computer is only possible with the knowledge of your personal ID’s secure access protection password.

This means that an attacker cannot hack into your website with only the knowledge of your password or the possession of your computer. An attacker would need both at the same time. Additionally, your password cannot even be stolen during a server intrusion, as the password is never stored on the server!

• Log into websites, applications, and systems without passwords, yet with the total security of out-of-band mobile authentication.
• Identity access management (IAM), provided by 2048-bit encrypted key pairs and public key infrastructure (PKI), protects your website login. Keep working efficiently with no worries, knowing that your information is completely immune to login hacking, phishing, and malware. 
• User identity can be verified quickly and easily without ever entering or transmitting a password or other confidential credential through your login mechanism.
• No passwords or other sensitive user information are ever stored on a login server.
