This service has the following features.
・Registration and login that does not bother users
This is a new authentication mechanism that completely overturns the procedures for users to register and log in to web services.
In a 2021 survey, 83% of people abandoned purchases and account setup due to registration and login hassles*. In response to this issue, 4Login has eliminated the need to register an ID and password during user registration, eliminating the hassle that everyone has felt. In addition, 100% security is achieved by the function "login protect (described later)" designed based on the philosophy of "active security (described later)". In addition, by linking multiple authentication technologies, we have realized a light login that does not make the user feel that the security is high.
Web service providers can introduce 4Login's authentication service to their own services via API.

・Additional protection to dispel remote access concerns
"4Login for Windows", the core function of the paid service "4Login Premium", adds 4Login authentication to remote access services that are attracting attention for telework. It shuts out threats to the host PC, such as unauthorized access from the Internet, and dramatically reduces the risk of corporate activities caused by the introduction of telework.
・ State-of-the-art password management
Inherit all the password management functions of the conventional password management application "PassClip" provided by our company, which displays and manages passwords on a 5 x 5 grid. In addition to displaying passwords in a grid format, it is equipped with cutting-edge password management technology, such as generation of hiragana passwords that are easy to recite and easy to remember, and a function to log in simply by tapping a square on the grid without entering a password. It is installed.
・Linking personal information to web services
Entering personal information into web services is nothing but pain for users. With 4Login, you only have to enter your personal information once on the app.
・Issuing a receive-only email address
4Login is also committed to protecting your privacy. You can browse information from web services without being exposed to the stress of spam emails in a dedicated mailbox that does not receive any emails other than legitimate senders.
■4Login for Windows
This is a service that applies 4Login's authentication mechanism to Windows logins in order to use Remote Desktop Service safely. There is no need for expensive software or large-scale system construction. Anyone can start using it right away by simply applying for 4Login Premium (680 yen (tax included) per month).
■ "Active security" to disable phishing
Phishing is triggered by "information sent from the other party".
Currently, the authentication method "SMS authentication", which is often used, is an authentication method that uses SMS messages as authentication information. By using this SMS authentication, if you get used to receiving SMS messages, you may not notice fake SMS messages.
Passlogi believes that distrusting "information from the other party" will lead to crisis avoidance, and recommends building an environment that authenticates only by "active" methods of sending "information from here".
Pathlogi calls and advocates this idea as "active security".
"Login Protect" is a mechanism that realizes "Active Security".

■ Mechanism of "Login Protect"
"Login Protect" is a technology that enhances the strength of authentication security by minimizing the amount of time you can log in.
The biggest difference from the conventional authentication mechanism is that "the state that does not accept authentication is the standard state". In this state, no information (even correct answers) sent to the login form will be accepted.
When a legitimate user logs in, he or she taps the 4Login smartphone app and sends a signal to the service saying "I'm going to log in now." The service side waits for login for one minute after receiving the signal. During this time, the user authenticates by logging in as usual.

■For web service providers

4Login's authentication mechanism helps build the best relationship between web service providers and users. Reduce withdrawals at the time of user registration and guide high-quality users with reliable identities to your company's services. In addition, attracting customers to your company's services without going through the agency's website will greatly contribute to improving management.
