As user expectations for secure and seamless access continue to grow, the 2024 Thales Consumer Digital Trust Index (DTI) research revealed that 65% of users feel frustrated with frequent password resets. This highlights an increasing demand for advanced authentication methods like passkeys and multi-factor authentication (MFA), which provide robust security for most use cases. However, industries reliant on shared devices—such as healthcare, retail, and manufacturing—face unique challenges. These fast-paced environments need a more flexible approach to balance security, speed, and user privacy.

The Challenges of Shared Devices

In industries where shared devices are the norm, such as healthcare workers accessing patient records or retail employees operating point-of-sale systems, security must remain a priority without sacrificing efficiency. Traditional methods, like password resets or multi-factor prompts, slow down workflows and create friction for users who need quick transitions between devices.

For example, in healthcare, constant authentication interruptions can impact both patient care and productivity. Similarly, in retail and manufacturing, delays caused by authentication procedures reduce overall efficiency. These sectors require an authentication solution that delivers fluidity and security without compromising user experience.
