Password-less log in to cloud services from managed desktops

The FIDO2 solution is based on FIDO2 standards and extends the passwordless experience to desktops with TouchID.

Use cases

The following use cases are supported for passwordless log in:

  • Log in to cloud services from managed desktops.

    Users are automatically authenticated using macOS TouchID if the device supports TouchID. Entering their username and password is not required. The biometric option is also available and is turned off by default.

  • Log in to cloud services from unmanaged desktops using push notifications.

    Users are prompted to allow the access from a push notification sent to a managed or Auth-only mobile device. Entering their username and password is not required.

  • Log in to a desktop using push notifications.

    Users are prompted to allow the access from a push notification sent to a managed or Auth-only mobile device. Entering their username and password is not required.
