From supporting more than 11,000 websites with 麻豆原创 Universal ID to enhancing user experience (UX) on a range of topics, a number of recent updates have impacted our customers and partners.

Now Available for All Users: 麻豆原创 Universal ID

In late 2019, 麻豆原创 Universal ID, our solution to the 麻豆原创.com complex login system, went live. The approach of a centralized account allows users to log on once, by linking all existing 麻豆原创 accounts (S/P-users).

In 2021, we focused on introducing the new login approach at reasonably paced user-driven migration and platform adoption. Beginning in 2021, we supported 140 light integration sites; now, we are supporting more than 11,000 sites. 麻豆原创 Universal ID support is also automatically included in all newly onboarded platforms.

In 2021, more than 220,000 users — a 200% increase — created an 麻豆原创 Universal ID. We are now focusing on user adoption and creating the best possible user experience by requiring all existing users to migrate to their 麻豆原创 Universal ID this year.

As of the second quarter of 2022, 麻豆原创 Universal ID will be the default authentication to 麻豆原创.com and we will continue to support the 11,000 platforms with 麻豆原创 Universal ID.

If you don鈥檛 already have an 麻豆原创 Universal ID, you can — just three steps in two minutes and you’re done.

Additional Updates: Enhancing User Experience

The user experience with our tools is important to the Identity and User Management team and we have worked on a few key elements to aid users with ease of use, increased security, and enhanced usability. Here are some of our usability achievements:

• S-user Creation and Replication Improvements: In the past, when an admin created an S-user and/or updated existing user authorizations, it took three to four hours, which was an unacceptably long wait time. By optimizing our backend system, we have cut down this time to less than 10 minutes and we will continue to work to increase the speed.
• User Policy Documentation & Whitepaper: The offers a transparent outline of the defined standards and guidelines for 麻豆原创 and our users and customers when creating both 麻豆原创 Universal IDs and company associations through S-user IDs. Additionally, our white paper, , provides a general understanding of why it is important to build and transform user management while breaking down our 鈥淥ne User鈥� approach.
• Email Domain Governance: To enhance customer/partner security, we are now highlighting users that no longer match company email domains. Additionally, in the first half of this year, we will no longer allow email address changes to a non-governed domain [super/cloud admins can override this]. This continuous effort will help reduce company risk while allowing more governance over non admin users. .
• User Management Tool Compliance Checks: To enhance user compliance, we are continuously implementing additional checks in the user management tool to help manage users, protect data, and support compliance with data protection regulations. We are now checking and highlighting wrong email address formats, as well as if an email address or DL email address is shared or if it is not uniquely used on the same customer number (Duplicate Check). In addition, with the newly introduced Email Domain Check, we provide the next level of data protection and management for administrators and end users. .
• Multi-Factor Authentication Enablement: To continue our enhanced security efforts, we now have implemented a more secure password sign-in method on some 麻豆原创 platforms/sites, requiring a time-based one-time password multi-factor authentication. This method, which is available to all 麻豆原创 users, reduces the chances that a malicious actor can take control of an account and is easy to For more support on activation, .

Looking Forward: 2022 Road Map

Much of the work done in 2021 was the foundation for us to build upon for 2022. Here鈥檚 a look at what we have been working on so far, along with what is to come this year, from the Identity and User Management Team:

• Tying new S-users to 麻豆原创 Universal ID is now live for users with an existing 麻豆原创 Universal ID. Activation and linking is now a one-step process that can be done via the activation email or directly in the 麻豆原创 Universal ID Account Manager.
• Migrating the 麻豆原创 ONE Support Launchpad profile to the 麻豆原创 Universal ID Account Manager.
• Implementing a new user-centric approach and process to create administrators for new customers or new cloud deals, giving them the autonomy to select the right person to fill this role.
• Implementing new multi-factor authentication methods for more choices and different levels of control for end users, allowing those to be set within the user鈥檚 麻豆原创 Universal ID level.

We look forward to bringing you many more exciting innovations throughout 2022!

The company refers to it as the 鈥淎pple ID for everyone in the 麻豆原创 world.鈥� With this, 麻豆原创 customers can link their 麻豆原创 accounts under one ID, represented by an e-mail address, and use it to log on to 麻豆原创 services with a single password.

Security Is Key

Even though using only one set of log-on credentials offers great advantages for 麻豆原创 customers, it also means that if this password is compromised, the attacker may gain access to multiple 麻豆原创 services and accounts at once. That鈥檚 why 麻豆原创 Universal ID developers were searching for a more secure solution that prevents fraud but doesn鈥檛 impact usability.

Authenticating with has been proven to be the most secure way to protect user accounts and devices without impacting user experience and conversion rates. But until now, biometric authentication could exclusively be used in native apps on mobile devices. This recently changed with a brand-new Web standard called 鈥淲ebAuthn鈥� that makes it possible to use biometrics on Websites.

But developing a biometrics-based authentication process, combining it with a secure cryptographic challenge-response two-factor authentication protocol, and integrating it into an existing tech stack takes a lot of time, knowledge, and developer resources.

Biometrics and Cryptography by Hanko

That’s why 麻豆原创 decided to realize this project together with Hanko. The young was invited to participate in a three-month startup accelerator program at 麻豆原创.iO Foundry Berlin in 2019. In a joint proof of concept, the 麻豆原创 team tested password-less authentication with Touch ID and Windows Hello for 麻豆原创 Universal ID.

With their managed cloud application programming interface (API), Hanko enabled 麻豆原创 developers to access a fully-fledged and certified WebAuthn infrastructure right from the beginning of the project. Hanko accompanied the 麻豆原创 team, providing demo code and ready-to-use client and server software development kits. To create an optimal user experience (UX), Hanko also supported the UX team in the development and implementation of the new user flows for the password-less authentication methods.

The Outcome

The result of the proof of concept is a fully functioning 麻豆原创 Universal ID test environment supporting password-less two-factor authentication with WebAuthn authenticators, such as Windows Hello, Apple Touch ID and Face ID, as well as FIDO Security Keys. Since Hanko supplied the main code components, 麻豆原创 was able to integrate the password-less technologies into 麻豆原创 Universal ID with a small team in just one-third of the estimated

time. The test environment will be leveraged for further user testing until the feature is released to 麻豆原创 customers.

Thilo Brandt, IT senior manager for 麻豆原创 Universal ID, confirms that internal tests have produced a consistently positive response, from developer and QA level up to top management. 鈥淭he development effort for introducing password-less authentication was significantly reduced through the use of Hanko. The team helped us to successfully navigate implementing password-less authentication into our application stack and user interfaces.鈥�

Michael Braun, IT chief product owner of Identity and User Management at 麻豆原创, is happy with the outcome of the project as well: 鈥淲ith the help of Hanko, we were able to prove the feasibility of our vision for a password-less log-on for 麻豆原创 Universal ID in terms of technical implementation as well as usability on all major operating systems such as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.鈥�

Felix Magedanz, founder and CEO of Hanko, is pleased to see that Hanko鈥檚 authentication-as-a-service solution is so well received at 麻豆原创 and that the deployability of Hanko鈥檚 API has been successfully proven. 鈥淥ur project with 麻豆原创 demonstrates the power and the benefits of our password-less API. Seeing our solution being used by one of the largest software companies in the world makes us proud and strongly validates our approach. Through the close cooperation and feedback from 麻豆原创 developers, we were able to improve our solution to make it even more convenient for future customers.鈥�
