NoPassword Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven authentication also offers adaptive and contextual authentication for continuously authenticated the user based on behavior, risk based, and granular access management. NoPassword does not store any credentials (passwords or biometrics) on a centralized database nor requires users to manually enter credentials.
