Enable FIDO2 passkey MFA With Rublon. Rublon MFA fully supports FIDO2-compliant hardware- and software-bound passkeys. This means that you can use passkeys as a 2nd factor in your multi-factor authentication (MFA) logins, combining the robust security of FIDO2 authentication with the seamless convenience of the latest trend in cyber security. Whether you prefer a hardware-bound passkey stored on a physical security key or a software-bound passkey managed through a digital vault, Rublon has you covered.
Which Types of Passkeys Does Rublon MFA Support?
FIDO2 passkeys are the latest standard in secure authentication. These passkeys can be either hardware-bound or software-bound, offering users flexibility based on their preferences and security needs. With Rublon MFA, you can enroll and use both types of passkeys for effortless and highly secure multi-factor authentication.
Hardware-Bound Passkeys
Hardware-bound passkeys rely on a physical security key, such as a YubiKey, to store authentication credentials. This method is perfect for organizations requiring high levels of security as the private key never leaves the physical device.
Key benefits of hardware-bound passkeys:
- Strong physical security
- Protection against phishing attacks
- Easy to use – just plug in and authenticate
Software-Bound Passkeys
Software-bound passkeys are stored securely in digital password managers like 1Password, Dashlane, and KeePassXC. Software-bound passkeys do not offer the same level of security as hardware-bound passkeys, but provide the flexibility of being accessible from your other devices.
Key benefits of software-bound passkeys:
- No need to carry a physical device
- Flexibility and convenience
- Stored securely in your chosen Passkey Manager
