SmartSignin – The Smart, Secure and Simple Identity in The Cloud
Do you feel annoyed by the numerous passwords that you have to memorize to gain access to your personal and business accounts on the web? Maintaining access control using passwords is important and it is the best line of defence against hackers, but maintaining many passwords can slow productivity and cause unwanted headache for individuals and enterprises. SmartSignin.com is a startup that promise to provide the smart, simple and secure way for consumers and enterprise users to take charge of their web ID’s, passwords and privacy.
It aggregates all the users websites and enables a 100% Single Sign on from any platform or device, behind or in front of a firewall, without collaboration from any 3rd party and implementation takes just minutes. For enterprises, additional features are available that allow enterprises utilizing the cloud to authorize users access to apps based on roles, provisioning, automatic password resets, audits, and add new employees or delete ex-employee from active directory with just 1 click.
SmartSignin promise to provide secure Identity as a service product on the market. Its cookie-less architecture, PKI free multifactor authentication and its patented “Smart Key” algorithm, developed in joint venture with Ganita labs, at the University of Toronto, all to try to avoid any single point of failure in the system.
They would have to have the security of all security to protect that info, and be willing to prove it to me before they had my trust. They would need secondary forms of security like two-factor authentication where I will still have some control. Just having a strong password don’t replace the need for other effective security controls. I have multiple accounts online in which I have implemented the 2FA (two-factor authentication) where I can safely telesign into my account by entering a one-time PIN code which was delivered to my phone via SMS or voice. This gives me the confidence that my account won’t get hijacked and my information isn’t up for grabs.
Hi Dawn!
Thanks for your comment! With SmartSignin, unlike other password managers, we do not manage your accounts/credentials. We just help you manage your own keys to your accounts but do not have any access to any of your credentials. We make certain that there is no single point of failure in the app and no un-encrypted data ever leaves your machine. Our patented encryption technology, developed by our CTO, Dr. Kumar Murty and the Ganita crypto labs at the university of Toronto, breaks up your key into multiple parts – only you can put it together to access your accounts. We also have 2 factor authentication, including a SMS one time password (OTP). We are still in beta and we are working hard to improve the application with feedback from our users. We have a free trial – so do give SmartSignin a shot and let us know how we can improve. Thanks!
