Flexible Authentication, Secure Access: You're in Control

Web Portal Authentication

Your Gateway, Your Rules

Forget the frustration of rigid, outdated login systems. We offer modern, flexible authentication methods designed to eliminate common pain points while strengthening your security posture.

Self-Registration

Give recipients control over their own security. Our self-service portal allows users to manage their passwords, recover information, and set personal preferences. For first-time registration, you can enforce an additional layer of security with sender-provided second-factor codes, solving the “first contact” trust issue instantly.

• Solves: User friction and support ticket overload.
• Empowers: Recipients to self-manage their secure access.
• Secures: Initial interactions with a simple, effective verification step.

Sender Set Passphrase

For quick, secure, one-off communications, this is the most direct path. The sender sets a shared passphrase and communicates it out-of-band. The recipient gets immediate access without the hassle of registration. It’s security that moves at the speed of business.

• Solves: The need for rapid, encrypted communication without account setup.
• Enables: Instant access to secure messages and critical attachments.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

A compromised password is the oldest trick in the book. Our 2FA option makes it obsolete. By requiring a secondary code from an authenticator app or SMS, you add a powerful, essential layer of defense against unauthorized access.

• Solves: The persistent threat of credential stuffing and phishing attacks.
• Meets: Critical compliance requirements, including PCI-DSS.

Passwordless Access

The future of authentication is here. Move beyond passwords and embrace stronger, simpler security with device-based methods like biometrics or passkeys. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s a strategic shift toward a more secure, phishing-resistant ecosystem.

• Solves: Password fatigue and the inherent weakness of user-created secrets.
• Delivers: A seamless, modern user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Social Connectors (OAuth)

Why force users to create yet another password? Enable secure, one-click access using existing credentials from trusted providers like Office 365, Google, or LinkedIn. This reduces friction and leverages the robust security frameworks of major identity providers.

• Solves: The “new account” barrier to entry.
• Streamlines: The login process for faster, easier access.

OpenID & Single Sign-On (SSO)

This is where authentication becomes a strategic asset. Integrate Echoworx directly with your corporate identity provider. With our self-serve OpenID and SSO configuration, you centralize access control, enforce your own security policies, and eliminate password chaos for both users and administrators.

• For IT Directors: End the nightmare of managing separate credentials. Authenticate users directly through your existing portal for a truly seamless experience.
• For the C-Suite: This isn’t just an IT feature; it’s a governance tool. Retain absolute control over authentication, enforce multi-factor policies, and demonstrate compliance with ease.

SMS Verification

Simple, effective, and universally accessible. Users receive a notification and request a one-time code via SMS to access their secure message. It’s a powerful method that requires no registration and leverages the one device everyone carries: their phone.

• Solves: The need for secure access without pre-registration.
• Meets: Multi-factor authentication standards by combining email and a mobile device.

System-Generated Verification Codes

For the ultimate in simplicity and security, use a unique, one-time verification code. The sender generates a code on-the-fly and shares it with the recipient over the phone or in person. The recipient uses it to unlock the message instantly. No registration, no passwords, no delays.

• Solves: The challenge of securing communication with transient or first-time recipients.
• Ensures: Absolute confidentiality, as only the intended recipient has the code.

Secure File Attachment Authentication

Your Files, Your Rules

Your sensitive data doesn’t stop being sensitive when it’s attached to an email. We extend flexible control directly to your encrypted PDFs, Office files, and ZIP archives, ensuring protection from creation to destination.

Sender Set Password

The sender creates and shares a password for an encrypted attachment at the moment of sending. This is perfect for quick, controlled exchanges where simplicity and speed are paramount.

• Simplifies: Secure file sharing with a direct, no-fuss method.
• Empowers: Senders to secure individual files on the fly.

User Managed Password

Allow recipients to use their own self-managed password to access encrypted attachments. This creates a consistent, user-friendly experience, especially for ongoing relationships with clients and partners who regularly exchange sensitive files.

• Builds: A trusted, consistent workflow for recurring secure exchanges.
• Reduces: Sender burden and streamlines recipient access.
