Adaptive Authentication

Choose any of the passwordless sign-in methods, Nevis' adaptive authentication feature can make them even more secure. The actual risk level of the sign in attempt is calculated in real time based on several factors, like the IP address, device in use, location, velocity, etc. To learn more about how the risk is calculated, see the Adaptive Authentication documentation.

Nevis Identity Platform Example Project Adaptive Authentication Flows

The pre-defined risk levels and enforced authentications for the Example project can be found in the onboarding documentation. They are as follows:

  • Low risk score
    • normal login with any of the configured methods
  • Medium risk score
    • normal login with any of the configured methods
    • a user notification email to inform the user about the potentially fraudulent sign in attempt with a link to distrust the current or all sessions on the given device (to learn about more how the distrust mechanism works visit the nevisAdapt Feedback Configuration chapter in the documentation)
  • High risk score:
    • normal login with any of the configured methods
    • a user notification email to inform the user about the potentially fraudulent sign in attempt with a link to distrust the current or all sessions on the given device (to learn about more how the distrust mechanism works visit the nevisAdapt Feedback Configuration chapter in the documentation)
    • multi factor authentication
