ATLANTA, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ZenKey, a
joint venture of the three major US wireless providers, today
announced that its network-based identity solution has gone live on
several major apps and websites. Sign-in with ZenKey improves
security for sites and their customers while reducing the need for
extra passwords and one-time passcodes.
The solution is live on mobile apps for LiveXLive and Verizon My
Fios. It's also live on websites for AT&T TV, DIRECTV,
myAT&T, AT&T TV Now and "Currently, from AT&T."
ZenKey also announced key collaborations with market leaders in
enterprise access management. ForgeRock has integrated ZenKey into
its identity platform, which means its clients will be able to
select ZenKey for consumer transactions and employee sign-on. And
IBM (NYSE: IBM) is collaborating with ZenKey to expand employee and
consumer authentication options for its IBM Security Verify
portfolio.
ZenKey is easy to use. A wireless customer downloads the ZenKey
app once from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Then as more
brands and services integrate with ZenKey technology, the burden of
multiple passwords goes away. Consumers register their apps and
online accounts using ZenKey.
To help thwart identity thieves, ZenKey verifies a customer's
identity with a combination of signals that wireless networks rely
on every day. This multi-factor authentication helps protect
against fraud, unauthorized access and account takeovers. It works
on a mobile device and also on trusted laptops and tablets that the
customer chooses to link with the ZenKey app. An app or online
account can use ZenKey as its primary authentication, or let it
replace PIN codes as a second factor.
With a few simple clicks, ZenKey also helps you control the
personal information that is shared with apps and accounts.
"We are extremely excited about the launch of ZenKey on these
apps and websites. We believe this initiative illustrates the
commitment that ZenKey and the founding members have for
cybersecurity and identity," said Johannes
Jaskolski, ZenKey general manager. "We look forward to
activating additional marquee brands while giving consumers added
peace-of-mind with their mobile transactions."
LiveXLive (NASDAQ: LIVX) is a global platform for
livestream and on-demand audio, video and podcast content in music,
comedy and pop culture. Other apps and websites are in the process
of integration, with plans to trial or go live in coming months.
They include:
- DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU), which offers e-signature and identity
verification as part of its Agreement Cloud platform
- Envisible, a sustainable food and technology company, which
will add ZenKey to its Wholechain supply chain traceability
app
- FilesAnywhere, the longest-running secure cloud platform to
store, sync, collaborate and share your company data while
maintaining industry compliance
- Global Grid for Learning, enabling thousands of schools and
millions of students to safely learn remotely through GG4L Connect,
an open-standards based Integration Platform as a Service
- Proctorio, the industry-leading remote proctoring solution
designed to protect the integrity of online assessments and the
privacy of the students taking them.
