ActiveID Authentication Methods

ActivID AS authentication methods determine the verification process used to authenticate a user. ActivID AS supports two-factor authentication based on something a user knows (such as a password, a PIN, or memorable data in the form of security question answers), and something a user has (a physical authenticator such as an OTP token).

  • Indirect users (such as end users) can be authenticated for ActivID AS through a direct user.
