ABOUT US
Fireflight is a highly secure, mobile two-factor one-time-password (OTP) authentication system. Fireflight uses end-users mobile phones to generate one-time-passwords on demand, replacing static passwords or cumbersome conventional authentication solutions.
When a user requires a password to login to a Fireflight protected resource, such as a Microsoft® Windows® login, a VPN or a website, a new random one-time-password is generated by the user on their mobile phone instantaneously using the Fireflight token application. No SMS or Internet activity is required.
The Fireflight server, which can integrate directly into a variety of systems, networks and resources, authorises the one-time-password when the user logs in. The password then expires immediately.
Compared with conventional authentication solutions such as hardware tokens and SMS-based services, Fireflight provides:
Reduced Costs
Increased Convenience
Greater Flexibility
Ease of Integration and Management
Superior Security
