Customers can deploy and directly procure BlockID from the AWS Marketplace to implement phishing resistant passwordless MFA on AWS Cognito that delivers a frictionless user experience through non-spoofable, live biometrics with verified identity. The BlockID cloud service is designed to prevent identity impersonation, account takeover and fraud while delivering a convenient, frictionless login experience.
“Unlike traditional passwordless and MFA platforms, 1Kosmos BlockID uses identity-based verification to transparently authenticate users and prevent account compromise and fraud,” said Huzefa Olia, Co-Founder and COO for 1Kosmos. “This integration with Amazon Cognito makes it fast and easy for Amazon customers to add a flexible array of MFA options to end user journeys based on their unique identity assurance and security requirements.”
