Plurilock ADAPT is a Plurilock product that provides invisible, frictionless, biometric multi-factor authentication (MFA). ADAPT uses behavioral-biometric, environmental, and contextual identity factors to authenticate users during login workflows. ADAPT relies on machine learning to maintain a fingerprint-unique profile of users’ identity characteristics.¶If during login the authenticating individual does not match the expected user’s profile, they may either be excluded (login failed) or prompted to perform step-up authentication (such as with a phone code or email link) to confirm identity.

ADAPT makes stolen credentials useless to attackers; even if an attacker has captured a user’s password, their location behavior, network characteristics, and behavioral-biometric typing and pointing style won’t match the intended user, ensuring that inappropriate access is not granted.
