Rublon offers the following authentication methods:
Email Link is a simple way to verify your identity. Email Link does not require any software installation or additional hardware. Just click the link sent by Rublon to your email address and get signed in on the device that started the login process.

QR Code. Rublon generates a QR code which appears on Rublon Prompt. Verify your identity by scanning this QR code. Use a phone with the Rublon Authenticator app.
Mobile Push is a fast and secure way to verify your identity. A push notification is sent to your phone. Use a phone with the Rublon Authenticator app to approve or deny the login attempt with a single tap.
SMS Passcode. Rublon sends you a message with a passcode. Verify your identity by entering the passcode on Rublon Prompt.
WebAuthn/U2F Security Keys. Rublon supports the FIDO U2F industry standard, enabling you to sign in to an application by tapping a physical USB security key.
