UNLOQ
TechHub Moorgate, 101 Finsbury Pavement, London EC2Y 9AU, United Kingdom
What it is
UNLOQ provides passwordless authentication for applications through a distributed authentication system. Users can sign in with push notifications, TOTP, email login, or biometric login. Developers can connect it through an API, code examples, a customisable login widget, or plugins, including a WordPress two-factor authentication plugin. Real-time analytics show login locations and times, preferred authentication methods, and devices used. City Wall and IP Restriction controls can limit access by country, city, or IP address. Push requests can ask users to approve or deny defined actions such as financial transactions, document sharing, or workflow approvals. Customers can customise logos, colours, and splash screens for mobile and web applications, and UNLOQ can generate iOS and Android files. It supports on-premise and cloud deployment; custom mobile apps are available only on-premise. UNLOQ encrypts mobile data with AES 256 and uses TLS with HSTS for website, mobile, and API traffic. The free plan covers 1–100 users with unlimited authentications and authorisations.
