Using Two Factor Authentication for AppDynamics

The most practical way to strengthen authentication is to require a second factor after the username/password stage. Since a password is something that a user knows, ensuring that the user also has something or using biometrics thwarts attackers that steal or gain access to passwords.

Traditional two-factor authentication solutions use hardware tokens (or "fobs") that users carry on their keychains. These tokens generate one-time passwords for the second stage of the login process. However, hardware tokens can cost up to $40 each. It takes time and effort to distribute them, tracks who has which one, and replace them when they break. They're easy to lose, hard to use, and users consistently report high levels of frustration with token-based systems.

Your choice of the second factor

miniOrange authentication service has 15+ authentication methods.

• One time passcodes (OTP) over SMS
• OTP over SMS and Email
• Out of Band SMS and Email
• Soft Token
• Push Notification
• USB based Hardware token
• Security Questions
• Mobile Authentication
• Voice Authentication (Biometrics)
• Certificate Authentication
• Device Identification
• Location
• Time of Access
• User Behavior

You can choose from any of the above authentication methods to augment your password based authentication. miniOrange authentication service works with all phone types, from landlines to smart-phone platforms. In the simplest case, users just answer a phone call and press a button to authenticate. miniOrange authentication service works internationally and has customers authenticating from many countries around the world.
