Article summary

Cross Identity (CI) introduces CI Windows Login solution that offers users two distinct methods to access their Windows machines seamlessly, ensuring both security and convenience. With CI Windows Login, users can choose between Cross Identity User credentials or Cross Identity Passwordless Authentication, enhancing the user experience while maintaining robust security protocols.

Authentication Options:

  • Cross Identity User Credentials: In this authentication method, users can log in to their Windows machines using their Cross Identity (CI) user credentials. This option mirrors the traditional username and password approach. Users are prompted to provide their CI username and password on the Windows Login screen. Once authenticated, users gain access to their Windows environment seamlessly. This method is suitable for users who prefer using their CI account credentials for authentication.
  • Cross Identity Passwordless Authentication: CI takes security and convenience to the next level with Passwordless Authentication. In this cutting-edge approach, users can access their Windows machine by performing biometric authentication on CIVerifID. Once the user's biometric data is confirmed, access to the Windows environment is granted. This frictionless method eliminates the need for remembering and entering passwords, streamlining the login process and enhancing overall security.

Benefits of CI Window's Login

CI's Windows login offers the advantage of enabling authentication on the device regardless of its Active Directory domain association.

The CI Windows Login solution offers several key benefits:

Universal Authentication: CI's Windows Login is designed to function seamlessly regardless of whether the device is Active Directory domain joined or not. This means that regardless of the device's domain status, users can experience consistent and reliable authentication.

Enhanced Security: Both authentication methods offered by CI Windows Login prioritize security. The traditional Cross Identity User credentials method ensures that only authorized users with valid CI credentials can access the Windows environment. The Passwordless Authentication method adds an extra layer of security by using biometric data, making it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access.

User-Friendly Experience: CI Windows Login prioritizes user convenience. Users can choose between the familiar username and password approach or the hassle-free biometric authentication method. This flexibility allows users to opt for the method that best suits their preferences and needs.

Reduced Password Burden: The Passwordless Authentication method eliminates the need for users to remember and regularly update passwords. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk associated with weak or compromised passwords.
