Create your WebAuthN credential in XolidoSign Corporate and forget about passwords

WebAuthN technology facilitates the use of biometric credentials, making it easier for us to access our applications without having to remember long and tedious passwords.

WebAuthN is a new authentication technology, approved by the W3C.

This web authentication system is based on a much more robust security standard than previous methods and facilitates the identification of users on mobile devices and web applications.

The aim of this new mechanism is to make online authentication more secure. Currently, the most commonly used method of authentication is the use of passwords, which are more vulnerable and easy to suffer phishing attacks.

With WebAuthN you can authenticate yourself on your mobile device or any other device with the appropriate technology, with biometric systems such as fingerprint, facial or voicerecognition, hardware keys via NFC or USB, etc.

You can create as many WebAuthN credentials as you need or one for each device where you use XolidoSign Corporate. This way, you will find it easier to access without having to remember long and tedious passwords.

Advantages of WebAuthN technology

• Higher level of security. Login credentials are unique for each browser or device used. Biometric data or other secret information used to authenticate, e.g. fingerprint, never leave the user's device and are not stored on any external server.
• Convenience. Users can authenticate to XolidoSign Corporate with the same methods they use to unlock their mobile phone, such as their fingerprint.
• Privacy. Credentials are unique for each site on the Internet, so they cannot be used to track users across all sites.
