Protect your customer data with a strong identity 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

Okta's auth service allows admins to 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

A cloud-based authentication service provider that preserves security and UX

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 pleased to not need a password and you can rest assured that their data is still protected.

Secure-but-simple factors

Okta’s cloud-based authentication solution gives users the best of both worlds: authenticate with factors like biometrics and push notifications that are high-assurance and simple to use.
