Passwordless identity and access management
Every breach starts somewhere. Usually a password._
IAMShield removes the password entirely — not another factor on top of it. Your people sign in with a tap on their phone, and the credential is a private key that never leaves the device.
There is nothing left to phish, reset or steal — and onboarding a new person takes one enrolment, not a helpdesk ticket.

What changes
Not another factor on top of the password.
IAMShield sits between your people and your applications, and it is the only thing that ever has to know how to authenticate someone. Your applications stop handling credentials altogether.
Nothing to phish
There is no shared secret. A convincing fake login page has nothing to capture, because the user never types a credential into it.
Nothing to remember
No password rules, no rotation, no reset emails. Signing in is a notification and a tap, which is faster than typing a password and a code.
Works with what you run
Standards-based OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0. Applications that already support single sign-on connect without code changes.
Provable, not just secure
Every approval, signature check and token issued is recorded, so you can answer exactly who signed in, from where, and when.
Who it's for
Wherever someone signs in with a password today.
IAMShield sits in front of anything that already supports single sign-on. If it currently asks someone for a password, it can probably sit behind IAMShield instead.
Workforce identity
Every application your team signs into, behind one passwordless front door instead of a password each.
Customer-facing applications
Bring the same sign-in to apps your own customers use, wherever they already support single sign-on.
Partner and vendor access
Bring an outside organization into specific applications without issuing them a password to manage.
Internal tools
Admin panels, dashboards and internal systems that would otherwise rely on a shared or reused login.
VPN and remote access
The connections your team make from outside the office, protected the same way as everything else.
SaaS applications
The tools you already run, connected over OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 without code changes.
The complete sign-in, end to end
Three moments. Only one asks anything of them.
Enter your email
No password field. They type the address they were registered with and select Sign in.
Approve on your phone
A push notification arrives on the enrolled device. They review the request and tap Accept.
You are in
The browser completes the sign-in on its own and they land in the application.
What the user never has to do
Four things that stop being their problem.
Removing the password does not just close an attack route. It removes a whole category of things people were asked to put up with.
- Never types a password
- There is no password field on the sign-in screen, and no password on the account to be stolen.
- Never copies a code
- No switching apps to read a six-digit number under time pressure. Approval happens where the notification lands.
- Never waits for a reset
- Nothing expires, nothing needs rotating, and there is no forgotten-password path to be socially engineered.
- Never approves blindly
- A request the user did not start is a signal, not an inconvenience. One tap on Deny stops it.
Visibility and control
Every approval leaves a record.
Administrators see every sign-in, sign-out and configuration change. Users get their own view — which devices are signed in, from where, and a control to sign any of them out. Suspicious activity does not have to wait for the helpdesk to open.
Security model
Why this is stronger than a password.
The difference is not that the credential is harder to guess. It is that there is no credential to guess, intercept or reuse — only a key that stays on one device and a challenge that is valid once.
- 01No shared secret
The server never holds anything that could be used to impersonate a user. A stolen database contains public keys, which are useless on their own.
- 02Phishing-resistant
There is nothing for the user to type into a fake page. An attacker who controls a lookalike site still cannot produce a valid signature.
- 03Single-use challenges
Every sign-in is a fresh random challenge. A captured signature cannot be replayed against a later attempt.
- 04Out-of-band approval
The approval happens on a different device and a different channel from the browser session being authenticated.
- 05Short-lived by design
Approval requests expire in two minutes, limiting the window for any intercepted value.
- 06Explicit consent
Every sign-in requires a deliberate tap. An unexpected request is a warning the user can act on immediately.
Asked and answered
The questions that come up first.
Applications that already support single sign-on need configuration, not development. IAMShield speaks OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0, so registering the application and pointing it at your organization is usually all it takes.
They enter their email address. An approval request arrives on the phone they enrolled, they tap Accept, and the browser completes the sign-in. There is no password typed, stored or transmitted at any point.
About a minute, once per person. They install the IAMShield app, confirm a code sent to their email address, and scan a QR code with their phone, which generates the key pair that becomes their credential.
An administrator removes the enrolled device and the person enrols a new one. There is no password to fall back to, so there is also no reset path for an attacker to exploit.
That is the signal, and it is meant to be. One tap on Deny stops it, and the attempt is recorded in the activity log for an administrator to review.
No servers. Ntanglenet operates IAMShield and provisions an isolated organization for you, and your team works from a browser console. The one thing that does get installed is the IAMShield mobile app, which each person adds to their own phone during enrolment — it is what receives the approval request and holds their key.
Yours. Sign-in screens carry your name, logo and colours, so the people using it see your brand rather than ours.
Start with a pilot, not a migration.
IAMShield is available now through an early-access programme. You run it against a small group of real users, with your own applications, before committing to anything wider.
