HYPR Authenticate vs Spriv Adaptive MFA

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.

Spriv Adaptive MFA adds multi-factor checks to logins across web, Windows, Linux and mobile environments. Its adaptive authentication can pair a workstation with an environmental identifier from a phone after the user approves a login, then authenticate later matching logins in the background. Other factors include one-way and two-way SMS, TOTP, and Allow/Deny prompts. Windows Remote Desktop logins can use a credential provider, while a PAM module covers SSH, su and sudo on Linux and Unix. Developers can connect their own applications through a REST API with sample code in five languages. Schema and directory needs vary by plan: Business includes Active Directory synchronisation and bulk user import. Large institutions can host custom servers in their own data center; other customers use shared cloud servers. Spriv states that its MFA meets FFIEC, PCI, HIPAA and SOX requirements and does not transfer personally identifiable information. It offers iOS and Android apps, a free plan for up to two users and two servers, and paid service from $7/user/mo. SMS on the free account is billed at carrier cost.
