With REINER SCT Login you can secure your Windows user accounts with an additional 2-factor authentication and thus effectively prevent unwanted access. The protection is based on the global TOTP standard using a QR code and is compatible with REINER SCT hardware.
There are many authentication apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy or Microsoft Authenticator. However, the Google Authenticator is currently struggling with a security vulnerability due to the lack of E2E encryption. This means that the protection of your own data is no longer guaranteed. For the time being, it is therefore advisable to use another form of multi-factor authentication. It is not known how long this situation will last. Google is aware of the problem and has already announced steps to restore the security of its users’ data. Until then, it is advisable to use another form of multi-factor authentication. For example, the Authenticator from REINER SCT, which offers maximum security and has no security gaps.
There are different types of 2FA, including SMS verification, authentication apps, physical security keys (most secure variant) & biometrics such as fingerprints or facial recognition.
The REINER SCT Login software enables secure login to Windows computers using two-factor authentication (2FA) with TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password). The software generates or checks time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), which are stored on a separate device, e.g. the REINER SCT Authenticator. This ensures additional security protection by requiring a second authentication factor in addition to the Windows password.
The 2FA increases security because even if an attacker finds out a user’s password, they cannot access the account without the second factor.
2FA offers protection against most phishing attacks, as the attacker needs the second factor in addition to the password to gain access to the account.
