Passwords. We've had them for years, we know
they're not secure, and strong passwords are
hard to remember. And with all the new cloud
apps we now use, the number of passwords has
multiplied, and the number of breaches is
growing. Two-factor authentication provides
the protection we need, but with traditional
2FA, we're still stuck with a password. And
with small mobile devices, typing in that
password or even a security code is a
headache. The password has been the weak link
until now. Symantec has eliminated the
password. Imagine signing in without any
typing. Select your app, when your user name
appears, touch sign-in, and authenticate with
a fingerprint. Sign into your company's
secure mobile app or partner portal, sign
in to your favorite social site, sign in to do
your mobile banking. With one touch of your
finger. Easy. And when you use a single sign-
on solution like Symantec Identity Access
Manager, you can sign into all of your cloud
apps at the same time with one touch and no
passwords. Welcome to the passwordless
cloud. But you aren't sacrificing security.
We're just replacing something you know with
something you are. It's actually more secure.
When you hit sign in for an app, first we
check to make sure we recognize the VIP
mobile credential on your device, something
you have. Then we tell you which application
the request came from. Because if you didn't
request access to that app, you're going to
want to deny the request. But let's say it
was you that wants access. You simply touch
the ID sensor on your mobile device with your
finger, and you've provided the second factor
of authentication -- something you are. Easy
and secure. So now that we've done away with
the password, you can access your apps with
ease from anywhere, with even better
security. Now you can get rid of all those
sticky notes. For more information, please
