Auth0 Guardian vs Trusona

Auth0 Guardian is a mobile app for completing multi-factor authentication on iOS and Android. During login, users can approve a push notification on an enrolled device or enter a temporary one-time password. Guardian-generated OTPs normally remain valid for 30 seconds. The app supports multiple languages and dialects, follows the device language by default, and offers system, light, and dark themes. Users can protect it with a passcode, passphrase, or device biometrics. Organizations can use Guardian SDKs to build similar applications or add Guardian capabilities to their own apps. Push delivery can use AWS SNS, Firebase Cloud Messaging, or Apple Push Notification service. Auth0 MFA API endpoints can enforce MFA at token endpoints and manage enrolled factors. Guardian is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The free plan is available; paid plans start at 35 /mo, with a 22-day trial.

Trusona ATO Protect verifies identity in real time during password or MFA resets, account recovery, and other high-risk requests, with the stated aim of preventing account takeovers. It checks people against authoritative sources including DMV records, mobile network operators, and LexisNexis, and detects SIM swaps, man-in-the-middle activity, and replayed ID scans. Trusona says document checks cover more than 2,500 ID types worldwide. People can use the service without downloading an app or registering in advance, and a zero-integration option is listed. Employees and customers can check that an agent is genuine, while executives can verify each other before wire transfers. After a successful check, a person can save a TruPass(key) to skip ID scans later. Listed integrations include ServiceNow and APIs, with options for Zendesk, Jira, Ivanti, and Freshdesk tickets. Trusona says it stores no PII and shows agents a risk result rather than identity documents. The portal plan is free with no commitment; other pricing is available on request.
