Passwords Are the Problem. ISG Helps You Eliminate Them — Without Creating New Ones.
Passwords are the most exploited vulnerability in your identity estate. They are stolen in phishing attacks, exposed in data breaches, reused across services, written on sticky notes, and reset by helpdesks at enormous operational cost. The industry has known this for decades. The technology to replace them has existed for years. The challenge has always been execution — getting from a world built on passwords to a world that does not need them, without disrupting the users who depend on your services and the applications that were never designed for anything else.
ISG delivers passwordless transitions on PingOne that are practical, phased, and built around how your users actually behave — not how security architects wish they would.
Our team has deployed passwordless authentication for workforce and customer environments across airlines, financial institutions, and retail organizations. We have designed FIDO2 and passkey rollouts for enterprises where phishing resistance is a compliance requirement, and consumer passwordless journeys where the goal is not just security improvement but measurable reduction in login abandonment and helpdesk call volume.
What ISG Delivers in Passwordless
FIDO2 & Passkey Deployment
ISG deploys FIDO2-compliant passkey authentication on PingOne for both workforce and customer environments. Passkeys are phishing-resistant by design — private keys never leave the device, there is no credential to steal, and the user experience is as simple as a biometric scan or device PIN. We handle the complexity of cross-device passkey sync, platform authenticator differences, and fallback scenarios so that passkey deployment succeeds in practice, not just in proof of concept.Biometric Authentication Integration
ISG integrates native device biometrics — Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, Android fingerprint — into PingOne authentication journeys through WebAuthn and FIDO2. The result is authentication that is faster than typing a password, more secure than any password, and familiar enough to require no user training.Magic Link & Email OTP Journeys
For environments where device-bound authenticators are not yet feasible — older user populations, shared device environments, bring-your-own-device contexts — ISG designs magic link and email OTP journeys in DaVinci that eliminate passwords without requiring users to install anything or pair a device. These patterns serve as effective interim steps in a phased passwordless migration.Helpdesk Cost Reduction Architecture
Password-related helpdesk calls — resets, lockouts, forgotten credentials — represent one of the largest and most underestimated operational costs in enterprise IT. ISG’s passwordless designs are explicitly engineered to reduce helpdesk dependency by giving users secure, self-service authentication recovery paths. The ROI of passwordless is not only in security improvement — it is in the operational savings that follow immediately.PingID Passwordless for Workforce
ISG deploys PingID in passwordless mode for workforce environments — push notifications, QR code authentication, and biometric step-up — integrated with PingFederate or PingOne to replace password prompts at SSO login. We have managed large-scale PingID rollouts where communicating the change to users and managing the transition from legacy authentication methods was as important as the technical deployment, and ISG handles both.Phased Migration from Password-Dependent Environments
ISG designs phased migration programs that begin with the highest-risk user populations and application categories — privileged users, customer-facing portals, financial transactions — and systematically expand passwordless coverage while maintaining fallback options during transition. We have designed and executed these programs for organizations with thousands of applications and millions of users.Passwordless for CIAM
Consumer passwordless is a distinct problem from workforce passwordless. ISG designs CIAM passwordless journeys on PingOne that account for the diversity of consumer devices, the absence of an enrollment mandate, and the competitive reality that a login experience that is even slightly frustrating will cost you customers. Our consumer passwordless patterns use progressive enrollment — meeting users where they are and gradually transitioning them to stronger authenticators as trust is established.PingOne · PingOne MFA · PingID · PingOne DaVinci · PingOne Protect · PingFederate ·
