Toopher: Secure Multi-Factor Authentication

Toopher provides an additional layer of security beyond passwords for secure login, utilizing a combination of biometrics, security tokens, and one-time passcodes.

What is Toopher?

Toopher is a cloud-based multi-factor authentication service designed to enhance login security for websites and applications. It works by requiring users to present two or more authentication factors when signing in - typically something they know (like a password), something they have (like a mobile device or security key), and something they are (like a fingerprint or other biometric identifier).

When Toopher is activated for a website or app, users go through a one-time enrollment process to register their mobile phone with the service. After enrollment, each time they need to login they'll be prompted to approve the login attempt using the Toopher app on their enrolled mobile device. The app can validate their identity through on-device biometrics like fingerprint scanning or facial recognition. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone learns the user's password through phishing or other means.

Toopher provides out-of-the-box integrations with popular web platforms and identity management systems like WordPress, MediaWiki, phpBB, and Azure AD. It's marketed as a way for organizations and cloud solution providers to incrementally strengthen login security without relying on expensive physical tokens or security keys. It aims to strike a balance between security and convenience/usability for end users.
