Unlock full MFA protection with comprehensive, always-on offline authentication. When your users are offline, don’t settle for MFA solutions that just give up.
Explore how offline authentication works at LoginTC.
Laptops and desktops aren’t always connected to the internet, so your MFA solution shouldn’t need to be either.
Offline authentication allows users to securely login to Windows and RDP services with MFA, even if their computer is not connected to the internet.
This means that second-factor credentials can always be provided to ensure that logins are properly authenticated, without needing to rely on a steady internet connection.
Below are some of the things that set LoginTC’s offline authentication solution apart from the rest.
Instead of leveraging offline authentication capabilities, some MFA solutions instead choose to bypass MFA or deny logins if a connection can’t be made to the authentication server.
LoginTC is an always-on MFA solution. That means that MFA is never bypassed or skipped, and logins are never rejected, no matter the status of a user’s internet connection.
How do we do this without impacting productivity and connectivity? Three simple steps:

Some MFA solutions require users to register their offline authentication method separately from online methods for each new Windows machine.
With LoginTC, users don’t need to enroll in offline authentication. By logging in one time online with any authentication method, users are automatically registered into whatever offline authentication methods their administrators have enabled through policies.
Reduce help desk calls and eliminate end-user frustration with LoginTC’s unique offline authentication capabilities.
Other MFA solutions offer only two options for offline authentication: on and off.
LoginTC gives administrators full control and customization over offline authentication.
Using policies, administrators can enable specific offline authentication methods for users at the organization, application, or group level. Administrators can also create limits for how many days users can login offline, as well as how many successful and failed login attempts are allowed.
