Passwordless Authentication for Government Devices and Legacy Applications
Government agencies face unique identity and access security challenges. From law enforcement officers accessing mobile workstations in patrol vehicles to government employees using shared computers, legacy applications, and disconnected networks, traditional authentication methods can create security gaps and operational inefficiencies. While identity providers such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and CyberArk secure access to cloud applications, many government environments require authentication capabilities that extend beyond the browser.
Credenti bridges this gap by extending enterprise identity security to workstations, shared devices, legacy applications, and offline environments. Its passwordless authentication and secure access solutions help federal, state, and local government agencies modernize authentication without replacing existing identity infrastructure or disrupting established workflows.
Passwordless Authentication for Government Workstations
Credenti enables government employees and contractors to securely access Windows, macOS, and supported Linux workstations using badge-based authentication, FIDO2 security keys, passkeys, biometrics, and other supported authentication methods. By reducing reliance on traditional passwords, agencies can strengthen authentication security, minimize password-related support requests, and simplify access to critical systems.
Secure Access for Shared Devices and Public Safety
Government operations frequently depend on shared workstations, kiosks, and mobile devices. Credenti simplifies access through badge tap, QR code, and other passwordless authentication experiences, helping users quickly authenticate while maintaining individual accountability.
For law enforcement and public safety agencies, Credenti supports secure authentication on patrol vehicle computers and mobile data terminals, including environments where network connectivity may be intermittent. This allows officers to focus on operational responsibilities rather than repeated, cumbersome login procedures.
Extend Single Sign-On to Legacy Applications
Many public sector organizations continue to rely on mission-critical applications that do not support modern authentication protocols. Credenti extends single sign-on to legacy and disconnected applications, allowing agencies to provide a more consistent access experience while preserving existing technology investments.
Through integration with enterprise identity providers, users can launch supported legacy applications directly from their existing identity provider dashboards, reducing authentication complexity without requiring extensive application modifications.
Authentication for Offline and Disconnected Environments
Government agencies operating in remote facilities, secure networks, and disconnected environments need authentication capabilities that remain available when cloud identity services cannot be reached.
Credenti supports offline, disconnected, and air-gapped authentication through flexible deployment options, including on-premises and private cloud environments. These capabilities help agencies maintain secure access to essential systems in operational environments where internet connectivity is limited, unavailable, or intentionally restricted.
Supporting Government Security and Compliance Objectives
Credenti helps agencies strengthen identity security through phishing-resistant authentication options, centralized policy enforcement, user-level accountability, and detailed authentication activity logs. Its capabilities can support agency security initiatives aligned with applicable CJIS requirements, NIST guidance, and other public sector cybersecurity frameworks.
Rather than replacing existing identity investments, Credenti complements them by extending secure authentication to endpoints, applications, and operational environments that traditional identity platforms may not fully address.
With Credenti, government agencies can deliver simpler, more secure access across their technology environments—connecting modern identity security with the realities of public sector operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Credenti enables government employees, contractors, and public safety personnel to securely access Windows, macOS, Linux, and supported rugged Android devices using badge taps, CAC/PIV-compatible credentials, FIDO2 security keys, passkeys, facial biometrics, and QR codes. Solutions such as Credenti Tap, Auth, Access, and ShifTap reduce reliance on passwords while simplifying authentication across shared workstations, patrol vehicle computers, kiosks, and virtual desktop environments.
Yes. Credenti integrates with leading identity providers, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and CyberArk, to extend existing identity investments beyond cloud applications. Government agencies can use Credenti to enforce authentication policies at workstation login, enable passwordless access to shared devices, and extend single sign-on to supported legacy applications. Credenti complements existing identity infrastructure rather than requiring agencies to replace their identity providers.
Yes. Credenti AlwaysON supports authentication in offline, disconnected, and air-gapped environments where cloud identity services may be unavailable or intentionally restricted. With on-premises and private cloud deployment options, agencies can maintain secure access to mission-critical workstations and applications during network outages or in restricted environments. This is particularly valuable for public safety, defense-related operations, remote facilities, and other environments requiring resilient authentication.
Credenti Unify extends single sign-on to supported legacy, desktop, and disconnected applications that lack native integration with modern identity providers. Government employees can launch these applications through their existing Okta or CyberArk dashboards, reducing repeated logins and password-related friction. This allows agencies to modernize application access while preserving investments in mission-critical systems that may be difficult or costly to replace.
Credenti provides identity security capabilities that support government cybersecurity and compliance objectives, including CJIS Security Policy requirements, NIST digital identity guidance, and applicable NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC controls. Capabilities include phishing-resistant authentication options, multifactor authentication, individual user accountability, centralized access policies, and authentication activity logging. Credenti also maintains security certifications and assessments, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, and holds a TX-RAMP authorization. Compliance depends on each agency's deployment, configuration, and applicable requirements.
