Our Advantage
The 1Kosmos Advantage
1Kosmos provides verified identity and passwordless MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) by default for every login without the old-fashioned codes and security keys, but not just for most all environments even those supported by Entra ID. 1Kosmos also gives users a consistent passwordless login experience for legacy on-premises technologies, Active Directory, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and Unix systems
Most importantly, by replacing passwords with a verified digital identity, 1Kosmos shifts the traditional balancing act between security and convenience by giving IT (Information Technology) and Security teams the flexibility to adjust identity assurance levels for different
users and systems based on the business needs without adding significant friction to the user experience.
