WatchGuard AuthPoint vs. AuthN by IDEE

WatchGuard AuthPoint protects workforce logins to desktops, VPNs, and cloud applications, from Windows and macOS sign-in to Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS. It runs on WatchGuard Cloud, the same console that manages WatchGuard network and endpoint security. An MSP or an IT team can cover identity without adding another vendor to the stack. When MFA alone is not enough Day-to-day authentication runs through the AuthPoint mobile app, with push, QR code, or one-time password. QR and OTP work when the device has no network connection.

Traditional MFA (OTP, PUSH) is a nightmare to deploy enterprise-wide, despised by users for requiring a second device (phone or token), and powerless against credential phishing & MFA bypass attacks – the #1 global attack vectors. This is why IDEE built AuthN. Next generation MFA. We call it MFA 2.0. Our next-generation Zero-trust architecture is fully decentralised, which means we have no central credentials database - the single point of failure that hackers seek to exploit. This architecture is based on public-key cryptography. The same tech underlying crypto-currencies.
