Identity management company ForgeRock has included biometric authentication on the latest version of its ForgeRock Identity Platform.ForgeRock Identity Platform, an end-to-end open source identity management solution that supports passwordless logins, now supports Touch ID.It can invoke two factor authentication if an anomaly occurs, for example if a laptop switches to an unsecured network. The platform can then request a response to a push notification sent to a phone — through a biometric TouchID, a swipe or other action — in order to maintain access.”User frustration is a real concern with two-factor authentication, and a significant barrier for organizations working to create the kind of secure, seamless online user experiences that we've all come to expect online,” says ForgeRock CEO Mike Ellis. “With passwordless authentication now available through the ForgeRock Identity Platform, our customers can create highly secure, frictionless user experiences that will delight and engage end users, while keeping the growing number of IoT devices and data out of the wrong hands”.The platform is compatible with industry standards including OAuth2 and OpenID, and enables real-time monitoring of security activity in order to provide better insights. The management console gives a visual display of account relationships and all database entries are encrypted to guard against accidental exposure.
