< 1 Sec
Biometric Authentication Speed

Sign in instantly using your fingerprint, facial scan, or hardware key. Cryptographically bound to your domain, eliminating phishing attacks entirely.

Hardware-Level Cryptography

Passkeys (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello)

Passkeys replace traditional passwords with public-key cryptography. When you register a Passkey, your device generates a private key stored inside your device's Secure Enclave (Apple Secure Processor, TPM chip, or Android Keystore) and registers the public key with GN-Apex.

FIDO2 Hardware Security Keys (YubiKey)

For organizations requiring strict security compliance, GN-Apex natively supports physical FIDO2 hardware tokens (YubiKey 5 Series, Feitian, SoloKeys). Tap your security key via NFC or plug it into your USB-C port to complete instantaneous multi-factor verification.

Authenticator Apps (TOTP 2FA)

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) requires two pieces of evidence before granting access: your standard password plus a time-sensitive 6-digit verification code generated on your phone.
