Enhanced MFA Security
Overview
Enhanced MFA Security is an impregnable shield against keyloggers, fortifying UnoLock’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with a randomized keypad and mouse click-based input to ensure unassailable login protection. Available across all tiers, Free, Inheritance, Sovereign, and HighRisk, this feature safeguards your vault by preventing pin capture through malware, delivering seamless yet ironclad authentication. UnoLock’s innovative approach redefines secure access, thwarting cyber threats with precision and ease.
How It Works
- Randomized Keypad Generation: Each login session generates a unique keypad image with numbers 0-9 and letters A-F in randomized positions, preventing predictable input patterns.
- Mouse Click-Based Input: Users enter their pin by clicking keypad characters on-screen, bypassing keyboard input to nullify keylogger threats.
- Server-Side Decoding: Clicked positions are sent to the server and decoded using the session’s randomized keypad layout, ensuring the pin is never transmitted in cleartext.
- Encrypted Transmission: Click data is transmitted via TLS 1.3-encrypted channels, protecting against interception during authentication.
Security Implications
- Keylogger Neutralization: Mouse click input eliminates keyboard data, rendering keyloggers ineffective and safeguarding pins from malware capture.
- Dynamic Input Protection: Randomized keypad layouts per session prevent attackers from mapping inputs, enhancing authentication resilience.
- Zero-Knowledge Pin Security: The pin is never typed or stored in cleartext, with server-side decoding ensuring UnoLock cannot access it.
Use Cases
- High-Risk Device Access: Users on public or compromised devices can authenticate securely, protected from keyloggers lurking in untrusted environments.
- Corporate Vault Security: Businesses can ensure employee logins remain safe from malware, maintaining vault integrity in sensitive operations.
- Privacy-First Authentication: Individuals can access their vault with confidence, knowing their pin is shielded from cyber threats in any setting.
Why It Matters
Enhanced MFA Security redefines authentication by blending cutting-edge keylogger protection with intuitive usability, ensuring every vault login is a bastion of security. This feature empowers users to protect their digital assets with unwavering confidence, even in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks.
FAQs
Can keyloggers capture my UnoLock pin?
No, mouse click-based input on a randomized keypad ensures keyloggers cannot record your pin, as no keystrokes are used.
Is the randomized keypad difficult to use?
No, the visual keypad is designed for simplicity, allowing easy click-based entry while maintaining robust security.
How secure is the pin during transmission?
Clicked positions are sent via TLS 1.3-encrypted channels and decoded server-side, ensuring the pin remains protected from interception.
Compliance & Privacy Regulations
- GDPR & HIPAA Compliance: Enhanced MFA Security supports GDPR and HIPAA by preventing unauthorized access to authentication data, ensuring user privacy through encrypted, zero-knowledge pin handling.
Integration with Other Features
- FIDO2 Authentication with WebAuthn: Complements Enhanced MFA by offering passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication, creating a layered security approach.
- Client-Side Encryption: Ensures vault data remains encrypted with AES-256 GCM, protected by the secure authentication process.
