Adaptive sign-in with Rownd
Rownd’s adaptive sign-in feature offers a tailored authentication experience for users by adapting the sign-in method depending on the user’s device. This versatile approach ensures the most convenient and secure authentication option is presented, enhancing the user experience and promoting increased user engagement.
Device-specific sign-in methods
Rownd’s adaptive sign-in can detect the user’s device and adjust the available authentication options accordingly. This ensures that the user is presented with the most appropriate sign-in method for their device, resulting in a seamless and intuitive experience. Some device-specific sign-in methods include:
- Biometric authentication: Rownd utilizes passkey technology to automatically utilize whatever biometric featuers a device has. For devices with biometric capabilities, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, Rownd can offer these secure and convenient methods as authentication options.
- Device-based authentication: For users with device-specific accounts (e.g., Apple ID or Google accounts), Rownd can present the option to sign in using these platform-specific accounts.
- SMS or email authentication: For devices without biometric or device-based options, Rownd can provide authentication via SMS or email, sending a unique, one-time-use login link to the user’s mobile device or email address.
Benefits of adaptive sign-in
Implementing Rownd’s adaptive sign-in feature in your mobile app provides several advantages:
- Improved user experience: By offering device-specific sign-in methods, you can cater to users’ preferences and provide a more convenient and intuitive authentication process.
- Increased security: Adaptive sign-in ensures that the most secure method available on the user’s device is presented, helping to safeguard user accounts and protect sensitive data.
- Higher engagement and retention: A tailored authentication experience can lead to higher user engagement and retention, as users are more likely to continue using an app that offers a seamless and convenient sign-in process.
