Three-Factor Authentication in Two Easy Steps Posted  February 1, 2010 By Sarah Fender

PhoneFactor now offers integrated biometric voice authentication, which simultaneously verifies something you have, your telephone, and something you are, your voiceprint, for the second and third factors of authentication. Here’s how it works:

Step 1
Enter your username and password just like you do today.

Step 2
Instantly, PhoneFactor calls you. Simply answer and speak your passphase to authenticate.

That’s it! The process is simple, secure, and cost-effective.

With IT security threats at an all-time high, utilizing three separate factors to authenticate user access is a necessity for many organizations. However, most biometric solutions require a biometric reader, such as a fingerprint scanner, be installed on each end user’s system. The cost and IT resources required to purchase and deploy biometric readers created an often insurmountable challenge.

With PhoneFactor, no biometric readers are required – it works with any phone. And with automated voiceprint enrollment and centralized user management, it can be set up quickly for large numbers of geographically diverse users.
