PingID
PingID is a new way to authenticate in a digital era. It is a platform enabling developers to integrate multi-factor authorization technologies in their applications with minimal effort. The support list for this platform’s SDK is humongous, which means that it is highly flexible in nature. While it is very secure, it is also not at complex to the point that it becomes difficult to authenticate.

PingID Review and Overview
Lost passwords and stolen credentials are like two peas in a pod. Both of them lead, ultimately, to the accessing of the company’s confidential and critical data, which in the wrong hands, can be absolutely destructive. PingID is a platform that is designed to eliminate this issue by offering multiple unconventional and highly-secure ways to access a secure digital location. It is also easily implementable in new and existing company applications.
A new approach to digital security
Unlike traditional authentications, that require the usage of a simple combination of username and password, both of which can be easily stolen, PingID employs the use of multiple authentication systems at once. These authentication systems make the full use of the hardware that is available on board the authenticator, for example, cameras for facial recognization, fingerprint sensors, mobile networks for SMS-based one-time passwords, and more. This not only protects the system being accessed with instantaneous malicious access but also provides the user with multiple ways they can recover and reset their credentials if lost.
Easy to deploy, hard to crack
Like said before, PingID is famously easy to integrate into any system the company sees fit. For example, everything from proprietary software to Microsoft Office 365 accounts to VPN services can be easily protected with the help of PingID’s MFA, making them doubly secure. It can be integrated with both native and cloud apps through different methods. For native apps, its authentication can be directly implemented through the PingID API or policies, while cloud-based web apps require a web-access management layer on top of which the API implementation works. Mobile app implementations happen through the use of its dedicated SDK.
Incredible customizability unseen in an authentication tool
Since the brand image is essential in all circumstances, PingID allows its users to intricately customize how their authentication window appears to the user. This type of customization is not limited to native apps; it can be used in web apps as well. Everything, from the size of the text to its color, is customizable. The developer has an added option to change the system language as well.
