About Authsignal
Authsignal is a commercial authentication platform designed to sit on top of an existing identity system instead of replacing it. It adds passkeys, adaptive multi-factor authentication and step-up checks for high-risk actions, with the aim of preventing account takeover without adding friction for legitimate users.
Its authentication methods include passkeys based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn, face and device biometrics, WhatsApp and email one-time passcodes, app push notifications and palm biometrics. Key features include a no-code rules engine for step-up policies, risk-based authentication, user observability with audit trails, session management, digital credential verification and carrier-based number verification. Use cases include account takeover prevention, going passwordless, call center authentication and cutting SMS costs. Authsignal is proprietary and vendor-hosted. A call can be booked or the product tried for free, and a pricing page is published.
