Passwordless Solutions from RSA: Multi-Modal Security Without Compromise
Passwordless solutions from RSA redefine authentication by eliminating passwords entirely, making access more secure and seamless for every user. Unlike single-method options, RSA’s multi-modal approach gives organizations the flexibility to choose the right passwordless authentication methods for every environment, user, and risk level.
With RSA, passwordless solutions combine a range of secure authentication options—including biometrics, app-based push notifications, FIDO2 passkeys, device-based factors, and hardware tokens—within a unified identity platform. This flexibility means organizations can mix and match authentication methods based on business needs, user preference, and regulatory requirements, all managed through a single, centralized system.
By moving beyond passwords, RSA passwordless solutions strengthen security and reduce friction for users. They also play a key role in stopping phishing attacks, since credentials are never shared or entered. Whether users authenticate via biometrics, mobile app, or secure device, RSA delivers a frictionless, phishing-resistant login experience—helping organizations meet evolving security standards and emerging threats without compromising usability.
RSA iShield Key 2 Series: Phishing-Resistant Hardware Authenticator
Seamlessly combine security and simplicity with phishing-resistant hardware designed for secure enrollment, self-service, and single sign-on (SSO) with the RSA iShield Key 2 Series. It is the first FIDO security key with a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module for the highest level of security. Powered by Swissbit and integrated with the RSA ID Plus platform, it’s your key to achieving Zero Trust maturity with confidence.
Mobile Passkey: Secure Passwordless Made Easy, Still Secure
RSA Authenticator App combines the convenience of mobile with the power of FIDO passkeys on iOS and Android devices. Securely bind credentials to a user’s device, enabling seamless passwordless authentication that’s both intuitive and phishing-resistant. Empower your workforce with a modern authentication experience that reduces friction and improves productivity—all without compromising security.
Eliminating One of Cybersecurity’s Biggest Weaknesses: Passwords
Passwords are a significant vulnerability. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 2.8 million passwords were leaked or compromised publicly in 2024, and 54% of ransomware was tied directly to password leaks. Passwordless authentication removes this weak link, providing stronger protection against phishing, brute-force attacks, man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks, and credential stuffing.
Embrace Passwordless Authentication Solutions, One Step at a Time
Going from a passwords-for-everything policy to a passwordless standard can be daunting. RSA encourages taking a more gradual approach to adopting passwordless authentication. With RSA, you can start with a single protected resource or user group, focusing first on the points where traditional authentication creates the greatest vulnerabilities.
Improved User Experience and Productivity
Users benefit from a seamless, faster, and more intuitive authentication process with passwordless. No more forgotten passwords or frequent resets, just smooth access to the resources they need. With more than half (51%) of users saying that they needed to enter their password six times or more for work every day, per the 2025 RSA ID IQ Report, passwordless authentication significantly reduces this repetitive task, enhancing overall productivity.
RSA Strong Authentication Defends the Entire Identity Lifecycle
As you roll out passwordless authentication, it’s important to prioritize protecting points in the identity lifecycle that are especially vulnerable to credential-based attacks, like user onboarding, authentication, password and multi-factor authentication (MFA) resets, IT help desk interactions, and endpoint access. RSA recommends and supports strong authentication methods (like FIDO passkeys) to implement passwordless security.
Passwordless methods are among the MFA options that make it possible for organizations to prioritize both security and user convenience. Passwordless MFA is part of the RSA® ID Plus platform and the RSA Unified Identity Platform, which combines automated identity intelligence, authentication, access, governance, and lifecycle into one cohesive solution.
Stay Secure—Even if You Can’t Stay Connected
RSA delivers passwordless authentication with 99.99% availability, including a failover capability that enables authentication even without a network connection. If connectivity is interrupted for some reason, or if someone is working from a place that doesn’t have internet service, we make sure it’s still possible to connect securely.
