Getting Started

Continuous Multi Factor Authentication

Continuous MFA covers everything from managing users to pairing their phone and choosing how each login gets authenticated the same foundation used across Windows RDP, Linux/Unix PAM, SSH and the API.

01

User management

Add users manually, in bulk, or through the API, and control their status Active, Deny, Bypass or Locked from the admin control panel at any time.

02

Pairing process

Pairing links a user's mobile phone to their username. On first sign-in, the user approves the login once from the Spriv app Spriv then records the workstation's identity together with the phone's environment signal, so later logins from that same pair clear silently.

03

Four authentication methods

Allow / Deny

Manual push approval every time no automation option.

Two-Way SMS

Reply "Yes" or "No" by text, works in over 200 countries a new seven-digit code every login.

TOTP

A six-digit, time-based code with a 30-second window, RFC 4226 compliant works with no internet or carrier reception.

Adaptive authentication is "the fastest second factor authentication 2nd channel in the world." TOTP "can be combined with any Spriv's authentication in order to provide a three-factor authentication."

04

Phone verification

Before a phone can be used for authentication, Spriv sends a seven-digit SMS PIN to confirm the number belongs to the user. The code can be resent if it expires before it's entered.
