BIO-key case studies

Business meeting
First National Bank of Long Island

Password authentication: a security and usability limitation

To meet the required security standards, the bank had increased the complexity of its password requirements to the point of introducing unacceptable user friction.

Challenge

To meet security requirements passwords were too complex for staff to use. Front-line staff were frustrated, and IT staff were overwhelmed with password-support requests.

Outcome

Using BIO-key Portalguard and fingerprint  readers, the bank provided one-touch access to a whole range of applications, reducing and IT workloads while improving security.
