Platforms

Where people log on, Twin Verify is there.

Windows, Mac and Linux servers. The second factor sits in the same place as the password, so there is nothing new to learn.

Windows

Windows 10/11 and Server 2016+

At the Windows logon screen, on unlock and in Remote Desktop sessions. With network level authentication only the code is asked.

Logon, unlock, Remote Desktop and prompts

The same sign-in tiles at the logon screen, on unlock, in Remote Desktop sessions and in Windows Security prompts such as "Run as" and UAC.

Offline sign-in

Sign-in from an encrypted cache when the network is not there.

Trusted networks

On networks you list, a password alone is enough.

Self-service

First-use wizard, changing Secret Squares, resetting forgotten squares at the logon screen with an emailed code, password change, expiry warnings and forced changes.

Password Protector

Checks passwords against known breaches, as you choose: no check, warn, or require a change. Live check while typing.

Tray app

Show grid, change password, change Secret Squares, approve a new computer or browser, generate a password (passphrase, random or PIN) and "Your devices".

Install

MSI installers for x64 and ARM64: one step with an enrolment key, or silent through Intune, group policy or your RMM tool, and enrolment through the MSP agent.

Four languages

English, German, French and Italian.

Show grid turns your own PC into the code source for VPN and remote logins.
The window for approving a new computer: three method buttons, the grid, a field for the one-time code and a field for the request code the new computer shows.
Approving a new computer or browser, proved with Secret Squares, the authenticator app or a security key.

macOS

The Mac login window and the menu bar

Twin Verify protects the sign-in at the Mac login window with the same Secret Squares, and brings a menu bar app for everything a user does day to day.

Login window

Secret Squares, authenticator app and security key, passwordless sign-in, access code, offline use and self-linking of the Mac.

Menu bar app

Show grid, change Secret Squares, change password, approve a computer or browser, generate a password.

MDM or not

Configuration profiles for your MDM, or install without MDM.

Four languages

English, German, French and Italian.

Twin Verify on the Mac

The Mac login window and the menu bar app. Your users see them in their own language.

Mac login window with two sign-in method icons, Secret Squares and authenticator app, above the grid.
Choose how to sign in: Secret Squares …
Show Grid window in light mode with the grid and a countdown bar until it changes.
"Show grid" in the menu bar: your own Mac as the code source for VPN and SSH.

Linux

Linux servers, natively

A native Twin Verify client for Linux servers adds a code to SSH, sudo and su, and to the text console login if you switch that on. It talks to the Twin Verify service over HTTPS, so no RADIUS server is needed.

The RADIUS route in detail
What the SSH prompt shows: the grid drawn as text. Demo data.

SSH, sudo and su

A Twin Verify code on top of the SSH key or password the server already asks for: the second step at the prompts admins use every day.

Secret Squares in the terminal

The grid is drawn as text right in the terminal, so it works in any SSH client. Authenticator app codes, a Yubico OTP and help-desk access codes work too.

Two ways for SSH

Key, then code (recommended), or password, then code. You choose per customer in the console.

Works offline

Keeps working when the network is down. Break-glass accounts can be exempt.

Rolled out from the console

One download with the same enrolment key as Windows and Mac, friendly to your RMM. Nothing changes for anyone until one command switches it on: it self-tests first and rolls back on failure.

Supported distributions

Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, and RHEL, Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux 9 and 10 (x64, systemd).
