Protect your customer data with a strong user authentication system

User authentication services that rely on passwords alone are no longer secure. Don’t believe us? Just ask the millions of people whose password is “123456.”

Set strong customer authentication policies

Enable your IT and security admins to dictate strong password and user authentication policies to safeguard your customers’ data.

Reduce account takeover attacks

Easily add a second factor and enforce strong passwords to protect your users against account takeovers. Use multi-factor authentication to provide a higher level of assurance even if a user’s password has been compromised.

Balance security and user experience
for customer-facing apps

Don’t let your security features get in
the way of user experience

Passwordless authentication

The best password is no password. Get rid of passwords in the customer authentication experience using email credential links, factor sequencing, or WebAuthn. Your customers will be psyched to never need a password, and you can rest assured that their data is still protected.

Meet compliance mandates quickly and easily

When a user requests “their information,” not understanding where it resides across your systems puts you at legal risk.

Streamlined user view

With a single view of a user across all systems, the right authentication service provider enables you to quickly and easily comply with “right to be forgotten,” CCPA, and other requests.

Unified access management for easy compliance

Keep operational costs low and minimize complexity while meeting compliance requirements by choosing a IAM partner who can take that work off your plate. Having a unified access management system across applications, API, and even servers and containers means you can meet compliance requirements with limited engineering effort.

Okta helps you meet your compliance requirements
We want one login, one password, and one digital identity [for our customers] that unlocks the door to many of the services that the Digital division provides.
