SystoLOCK companion, Systola now generates one-time password app for iOS and Android. SystoLOCK is designed to increase IT security in Windows-based environments. For the two-factor authentication, conventional OTP apps such as Google Authenticator or standard tokens have been used so far. With SystoLOCK Companion, Systola now adds its own mobile password generator to its corporate network security server, making it easier to work with SystoLOCK and supporting other services.
SystoLOCK is a patent-pending multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution that also provides easy support for enhanced network-level authentication (NLA). Prerequisite for the waiver of insecure Windows passwords and secure two-factor authentication is a password generator for one-time passwords.
The new app SystoLOCK Companion not only generates unique passwords, but also enhances the functionality of SystoLOCK and makes it easier to work with. For example, only a password generated by SystoLOCK Companion allows offline login. In addition, users in the app will be shown if the server is online, which one wants to connect to, if a special login is required, etc. The generated password can be sent directly from SystoLOCK Companion to server instead of typing it.
"Of course, our own app has been developed specifically for our own product, SystoLOCK. But since the basic functionality of all OTP generators is the same, other services like Google, Yahoo, etc. are also supported, "explains Roman Kuznetsov, Managing Director of Systola GmbH.
