SMS PASSCODE® Version 6 delivers end-to-end cloud authentication and a new password reset module


SMS PASSCODE® Version 6 Delivers End-to-end Cloud Authentication and a new password reset module

With leading security technologies being hacked and an explosion in cloud adoption, SMS PASSCODE® Version 6 solves two major challenges for customers as it introduces the first fully transparent end-to-end cloud identity theft protection solution without exposure to the above threats. And secondly, it enables small to large business and enterprises to transparently embrace the cloud over time while maintaining the technology leading award-winning identity theft protection that SMS PASSCODE® is known for. 

As if that was not enough, Version 6 also introduces a new Platform Extension strategy, where the first product under this extension umbrella is a new Password Reset Module. Essentially, users lose their identity to theft or they forget it. SMS PASSCODE has long been technology leader in theft protection and now also offer a modern, more simple answer to password reset when users forget it.

The features includes:

Users can now transparently securely embrace the cloud end-to-end

SMS PASSCODE® version 6 extends the version 5 cloud-ready platform with a new cloud application protection support for systems like Salesforce, Google Apps and Microsoft Office 365 etc.. This is based on the Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services 2.0 product (popularly known as AD FS 2.0).  The value is that customers can use the existing Active Directory user authentication infrastructure and easily extend it to cloud applications without having to maintain multiple user identity "stores". Once a cloud application is enabled for authentication via Microsoft AD FS, simply install the SMS PASSCODE authentication "client" on the Microsoft AD FS server and these applications are automatically protected with the award winning SMS PASSCODE two-factor authentication solution.

Remove the complications, custom build integration and the hassle of maintaining these and separate systems with the combined Microsoft AD FS and SMS PASSCODE cloud application solution.

Above completes our  end-to-end cloud support, which has been a platform evolution strategy, where the SMS PASSCODE version 3 enabled cloud-distribution of the individual components such that it could be deployed on the fly to both public and private cloud services  This continued in Version 4 with our website protection and in Version 5 with our support for cloud delivery via Telesign and cloud key token co-existance support.

It is the release of our Microsoft AD FS integration today that combined with the platform evolution to the cloud, delivers a technology leading end-to-end cloud solution – and done without any user disruption.





Reduce downtime and helpdesk resources when users forget passwords
Users lose their identity credentials either due to identity theft or they simply forget them. SMS PASSCODE Version 6 now extends the award-winning more secure login process with an easy to implement new Active Directory Password Reset module to assist users when they forget their identity credentials. This new module is an add-on that has the same ease of deployment that SMS PASSCODE is renowned for.
