1Kosmos Verify

My main use case for 1Kosmos BlockID is for passwordless authentication, identity verification, and secure multi-factor authentication for employees and customers.

The best features 1Kosmos BlockID offers include passwordless authentication, biometric login, identity proofing, adaptive MFA, and seamless integration with enterprise applications.

Adaptive MFA stands out for me because it adjusts authentication requirements based on user risk and context, providing stronger security without adding unnecessary friction for users. The integration was straightforward, especially with Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, VPNs, and SSO-enabled enterprise applications, making deployment relatively smooth.

1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted my organization by strengthening security, reducing password-related support tickets, improving the user login experience, and increasing overall IT efficiency due to passwordless authentication.

1Kosmos BlockID could be improved with a more intuitive admin interface, simpler initial deployment, enhanced reporting, and broader out-of-the-box integrations with third-party applications.

I have been using 1Kosmos BlockID for around six months.

1Kosmos BlockID is highly stable and reliable, with minimal downtime and consistent authentication performance in daily operations.

Its scalability is highly effective, supporting growth in users, devices, and applications without significant performance or management challenges.

I previously used Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD, with traditional MFA before switching to 1Kosmos BlockID for its passwordless authentication, stronger identity proofing, and improved user experience.

The integration was straightforward, especially with Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, VPNs, and SSO-enabled enterprise applications, making deployment relatively smooth.

We have seen around a 40 to 50% reduction in password-related support tickets and login times reduced by several seconds per authentication, resulting in noticeable productivity gains for both users and the IT help desk.

We have seen around a 40 to 50% reduction in password-related help desk tickets, faster login times, and reduced IT administrative effort, resulting in measurable productivity gains and a strong return on investment without needing additional support staff.

Based on my experience so far, the pricing for 1Kosmos BlockID is competitive for enterprise deployment, the setup cost was reasonable, and the licensing model is flexible and scales well as the organization grows.

Before choosing 1Kosmos BlockID, I evaluated other options, including Microsoft Entra ID and Okta Workforce Identity Cloud.

Nothing else about the features comes to mind; everything has been covered.

1Kosmos BlockID delivers excellent passwordless authentication, biometric identity verification, and adaptive MFA with strong security and a smooth user experience, though the only areas for improvement are the admin interface, reporting capabilities, and simplifying deployment and integrations.

I rate 1Kosmos BlockID an overall nine out of ten.

My main use case for 1Kosmos BlockID is for authentication where I can skip the password and directly plug in the pen drive to start using it. I would describe it as a kind of remote identity verification where I can directly authenticate myself without using a password and escape the login process. I have used it for at least six months.

I can explain what I was using 1Kosmos BlockID for by navigating to an SSO portal and displaying QR code challenges with access granted. For example, when a user needs to log in to a corporate single sign-on portal such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, it first triggers the request. Then the laptop browser goes into the company custom login page instead of requiring password entry. The user can input their corporate username and hit next. Then there will be an identity provider delegate. The laptop screen instantly presents a secure, time-sensitive QR code. Using the 1Kosmos app on the smartphone, the built-in scanner can snap the QR code on the laptop screen. You can configure the system to send an encrypted push notification to the phone instead of scanning the QR code. This is a kind of biometric match, or identity verification. The app verifies whether the human matches their biometric data against the cryptographic secure identity wallet, similar to what I currently use with Microsoft. It is a handshake where the signed token is stored inside the app on the mobile and sent back to the 1Kosmos cloud engine, where it validates the registered public key as well as the passwords for the actual biometrics. Then it gives access and establishes the SSO session.

I would describe desktop-to-cloud authentication as a way to eliminate the phone entirely for a user working with 1Kosmos BlockID. Instead, I can use it on the corporate laptop by leveraging the computer's built-in security chip, such as a TPM or Mac. This way, there is no need for dependency on the mobile app. I can directly use the company laptop's facial recognition for single sign-on.

Regarding the best features that 1Kosmos BlockID offers, it reduces the effort of saving passwords in my memory. One of the best features is that it is very similar to what Okta Verify or Microsoft Authenticator does. I have used them previously and currently use Microsoft Authenticator. One of the best features is that it uses live ID and advanced facial recognition technology which helps with anti-spoofing, or liveness testing. The advantage is non-repudiation, and it is 100% cryptographic. I can use it for high-risk administration actions.

With other tools, the advanced facial recognition feature of 1Kosmos BlockID would need to be in the right light or with more visibility. However, even though there is low visibility in the room or in a darker room, the app still recognizes my face. Whether I am in the left view or the right view, it still recognizes my face, whereas with other tools, I need to be very straight to the camera and should be within the proper distance.

I always need to give one point lesser to motivate the team to work more on the app and provide better features in the next release. One point lesser will make the team work more concentrating on new features and become a competitor in the current market.

I used 1Kosmos BlockID in my previous organization for at least six months, as they had provided this pen drive for one of the laptops I was temporarily using. This is the way I performed my self-authentication.

I feel that is a little bit of sensitive data. However, I could say that the majority of the issues were related to basic app configuration in the initial steps, but not more than that. There were issues with multifactor authentication where the ID or the app was not able to let me in. Those kinds of issues were very low.

Earlier, we used to have multiple complaints about Microsoft and Okta. However, when we used 1Kosmos BlockID, I have seen that the tickets in ServiceNow were very few. The support for this app was really great and it used to have a very quick turnaround.

I would highly recommend using 1Kosmos BlockID because I came to know that purchasing the license is lesser when compared to Microsoft or Okta. The support team is really efficient and the turnaround time is very low. I would highly suggest it.

I give this review an overall rating of 9 out of 10.

My main use case for 1Kosmos BlockID has been identity and access management and multi-factor authentication implementation for enterprise users. I have worked on user provisioning and de-provisioning, configuring and authenticating policies, integration applications, troubleshooting authentication issues, and ensuring secure access to business applications. I have also been involved in day-to-day administration, user support, and monitoring of 1Kosmos BlockID environment.

1Kosmos BlockID is used in our environment for managing the user's identity life cycle, including provisioning and de-provisioning. For user provisioning, whenever a new employee joins our organization, we receive that onboarding request from HR or the hiring manager. First, we verify the user details and create or synchronize the user account with our identity source, such as Active Directory. Then we assign the required roles, groups, and access policies based on the user's department and job role. After that, we configure the appropriate authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication, and provision access to the required business applications through single sign-on. Finally, we test the access and confirm successful onboarding with the user and application owner. For de-provisioning, whenever an employee resigns or is terminated, we receive an off-boarding request through the ITSM process. We immediately disable the user account, revoke all active sessions and MFA registrations, remove group membership and application access, and document the action for the audit process. This ensures that the user no longer has access to any corporate resources and helps maintain security compliance.

Apart from user provisioning and de-provisioning, I have been involved in the day-to-day administration and support of 1Kosmos BlockID environment. My responsibilities include monitoring authentication activities, troubleshooting login and MFA use issues, managing user access requests, supporting SSO integrations, reviewing security policies, and coordinating with application owners and internal teams. I also participate in incident resolutions, user onboarding support, access reviews, and audit-related activities to ensure compliance and security standards are maintained. This hands-on experience helps me develop a strong understanding of identity and access management processes and best practices.

1Kosmos BlockID has had a positive impact on our organization by improving security, simplifying user access management, and enhancing the user experience.
