WatchGuard AuthPoint vs. AuthX

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.

AuthX is a cloud-based IAM platform offering Passwordless Authentication with SSO, MFA, Passkeys, Badge Tap & Go, and Biometrics. It streamlines secure access across Workstations, Web, Network, and Mobile endpoints with advanced authentication workflows. Enabling Zero Trust Security, AuthX unifies credentials, apps, and devices while proactively managing risks.
