Hideez Authenticator is a versatile mobile and desktop application designed for seamless and secure access to both B2B and B2C platforms. The app offers features like single sign-on, QR code scanning for Windows login, one-time password generation, biometric access, and protection against various online threats. With companion apps Hideez Client and Hideez Safe, it also provides password management, auto-lock features, secure digital vault, and more, delivering an all-encompassing digital security solution.
Our challenge was to design a user experience for the Hideez Authenticator app that is secure yet user-friendly, integrating a variety of complex security features such as single sign-on, biometric access, and protection against online threats in a way that appeals to both B2B and B2C users.
Our approach was to prioritize user understanding and ease of navigation. We aimed to simplify complex procedures into user-friendly interactions, maintaining a minimalistic design to ensure clear communication of functionalities, while never compromising on security.
Our research focused on the unique needs of B2B users for a multi-platform authenticator like Hideez. We studied how businesses manage their secure sign-ins and access control and the challenges they face in ensuring the smooth operation of such systems.
Through interviews and surveys with IT managers and system administrators, we gained insight into their priorities: reliable security, ease of use for their team members, and efficient administration.
Analyzing this data, we found that businesses needed an authentication app that offered robust security without compromising on user experience. The administrators needed efficient ways to manage and control access rights across different platforms, while the team members wanted an easy and seamless login process.
