Authentication factors

Airlock 2FA allows authenticating users in different ways:

Factor

Description

One-Touch

Pushes a message to the user's smartphone and asks the user to approve by pressing a button.

Online QR code

Scan a QR code with a mobile app and ask the user to approve by pressing a button. No need to enter an OTP code.

Offline QR code

Scan a QR code with a hardware token or app and compute an OTP from it. The OTP has to be entered in the browser by the user (offline factor).

Usernameless QR code

The user scans a QR code displayed on the login page and confirms the login with a mobile app. No need to enter a username.

Passcode

Displays a time-based OTP to be entered in the browser by the user. Can be used as an offline fallback factor.

Mobile-only

A mobile (business) app uses Airlock IAM REST API and either app-to-app communication or the Futurae app SDK to authenticate users.
