GateKeeper Password Manager vs. FusionAuth

Proximity-based passwordless authentication is now available for various platforms including desktop applications, websites, and multiple devices like PCs and Macs. This innovative system utilizes active proximity detection to enable hands-free wireless two-factor authentication and efficient password management. IT administrators can facilitate user logins to computers and websites dynamically with a physical key, allowing access either automatically, manually, through touch, by pressing Enter, or using a PIN. Users enjoy the convenience of logging in, switching between accounts, changing devices, and logging out without the need for passwords, eliminating any hassle—just the key is required. When a user steps away, the computer locks itself, safeguarding both the device and stored web passwords from unauthorized access. Continuous authentication guarantees that users are routinely verified, ensuring they maintain access without the need for typing passwords. Moreover, administrators can now manage password security through a centralized admin console, enabling the automation of stronger password policies and the implementation of two-factor authentication while allowing employees to log in seamlessly without disrupting their productivity. This advancement is expected to significantly reduce helpdesk tickets related to forgotten passwords and requests for password changes. By enabling automatic locking and presence detection, the system enhances security while streamlining user experience.
