Proximia delivers what most “passwordless” vendors only claim: a single, presence-aware authentication layer that removes user-known passwords from every system in an environment, not just the ones built to support modern protocols. Modern applications get biometric sign-in outright; legacy systems that still require a password behind the scenes have that password system-managed so no user ever creates, sees, or types one.
- More than 97% of identity attacks exploit password credentials rather than any other method (Microsoft Digital Defense Report, 2025) — Proximia addresses both the passwords users see and the ones legacy systems still require behind the scenes.
- Modern systems (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, biometric-based logins) get true passwordless sign-in: live biometrics, persistent proximity, and mutual trust replace the password outright.
- Legacy systems that cannot support modern protocols keep a system-managed, rotated, encrypted password behind the scenes — but no user ever creates, sees, or types it.
- The same integration covers Windows, shared and multi-user computers, and remote workforces, with support for Active Directory, Entra ID, LDAP, and SSO via OAuth, OIDC, and SAML.
Passwords are a glaring vulnerability in modern cybersecurity. This outdated approach to authentication creates a cycle of risk, inefficiency, and friction. At Proximia, we saw the gaps and built a completely new paradigm—one that goes beyond passwords and even beyond MFA.
How Proximia Delivers True Passwordless Security
Proximia eliminates passwords across your entire ecosystem—without limiting access to any single platform or technology suite.
By combining live biometrics, persistent proximity, and mutual trust, Proximia redefines what it means to deliver a true passwordless experience.
To achieve this seamless, passwordless environment, Proximia integrates across both modern and legacy systems, ensuring the same continuous protections are applied to both environments.
Modern Systems: Fully Passwordless Authentication
Modern systems are applications and environments that support advanced authentication protocols such as OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and biometric-based logins.
In modern systems, no user-known password exists — ever. Authentication relies on live biometrics, persistent proximity, and mutual trust.
Example: A user signs in with a live facial biometric scan, and Proximia handles the Windows authentication process without requiring a static or user-known password.
Legacy Systems: Passwords Managed, Never Seen
Legacy systems are older applications or environments that require password-based authentication because they cannot support modern authentication standards.
While passwords must still exist in legacy systems, Proximia ensures they are entirely invisible to users and managed seamlessly in the background.
How Proximia Works:
- Users never create, see, or interact with passwords.
- Passwords are system-managed, rotated, and encrypted at customizable intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, or per session).
- Persistent protections like live biometrics, persistent proximity, and mutual trust are seamlessly extended to provide Zero Trust protection to all legacy systems.
Example: Logging into a legacy ERP system. Proximia securely handles password exchange, rotates credentials, and prevents any user interaction with the password.
The result is a consistent, seamless experience across modern and legacy systems for both users and IT teams, maintaining convenience without compromising security.
Passwordless Across Every Environment
Proximia enables passwordless authentication across multiple environments, including Windows (online and offline scenarios), shared and multi-user computers, and remote workforces—seamlessly securing access to both local and web-based applications.
Proximia synchronizes with accounts in Microsoft, Google, and HR systems to ensure cohesive integration across platforms.
Proximia supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through robust authentication and authorization protocols such as OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SAML. It’s also compatible with essential directory services, including Active Directory, Entra ID, and LDAP, and supports user federation.
This unified approach ensures organizations can achieve a truly passwordless experience without gaps in coverage or usability.
Agnostic Biometrics for Secure Flexibility
Proximia leverages biometrics like live facial recognition through devices such as smartphones and webcams. By remaining device-agnostic and untethered to specific platforms, Proximia delivers unparalleled flexibility.
This approach ensures:
- Future-fit security
- Adaptable protection
- Continuous validation of user presence
Achieving Passwordless Security Without Adding Complexity
Proximia’s centralized administration console simplifies IT management by allowing administrators to:
- Manage user profiles and access requests
- Enforce compliance protocols
- Streamline workflows across the organization
All credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest, and Proximia’s system is hardened against brute force attacks, cross-site forgery, and SQL injection.
By eliminating static credentials, businesses:
- Reduce their attack surface
- Align with compliance and regulatory requirements
- Provide a seamless user experience
Proximia’s adaptive, passwordless approach integrates effortlessly across both modern and legacy systems, delivering on the promise of advanced, Zero Trust authentication—without complexity or compromise.
