HYPR Authenticate vs Ory

HYPR Authenticate provides passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication using passkeys. It turns a smartphone into a FIDO2 credential based on public-key cryptography, eliminating passwords and shared secrets. Users pair phones with computers by scanning a QR code, then approve access with biometrics or a decentralized PIN. Authentication covers desktops, virtual desktop infrastructure, web apps, single sign-on, VPN and RDP; an offline mode supports workstation access without internet connectivity. Multiple phones and computers can be paired, and Remote Lock lets users lock a workstation from a smartphone. Organizations can apply their own branding and connect identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta and Ping, as well as RADIUS infrastructure and SIEM platforms. The service supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and web. Plans include Identity Assurance Access at $3 a month, Identity Assurance Plus at $6 a month and Identity Assurance Advanced at $9 a month, all billed monthly. A free plan, free trial and free pilot for up to 50 users are listed.
