Mobile authentication specialist Encap has launched its developer toolkit, enabling app developers – start-ups or multinationals – to implement on-demand two-factor authentication without the use of hardware tokens or SMS codes.
“Two-factor authentication is increasingly the norm for major corporations – Google, Apple, and Facebook have all recently implemented this type of security, albeit not as well as they could have,” said Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO, Encap. “Our toolkit offers developers the opportunity to integrate two-factor security seamlessly into applications – no expensive hardware or SMS codes, no upfront costs, and simple for their customers.
“Competition in app marketplaces is fierce, and a seamless experience where a user never leaves the app will trump one that involves fiddling with extra hardware or receiving SMS codes to achieve the same level of security. Integrating Encap is an opportunity to not just match the security of the financial and technology giants – but beat it,” concluded Jørgensen.
Testing and integration of the Encap solution can be done without paying up front or delaying time to market. Developers can test the solution using Encap’s public test server, and there is no cost to use a basic trial license. Find out more by visiting their developer portal.
