Multi-factor authentication

Pertuniti emphasizes on security and therefore provides two-factor authentication for all registered users.

Pertuniti supports two-factor authentication via WebAuthn. This allows both security keys and smartphones to be set up as a second factor.

For all users of Pertuniti!

Although Pertuniti offers discounted user types in the form of Associate users and read-only users, two-factor authentication via email, security key or smartphone is a feature available to all registered users.

We recommend the use of security keys or a smartphone as a second factor. In contrast to one-time-passwords sent via email or SMS, these login methods can also take the domain name into account and thus make phishing much more difficult.

At no extra cost

If you do not have a security key or smartphone or do not want to provide one for your employees, you do not need to: Without a registered device, by default you will receive a one-time code via e-mail, which can be used for a few minutes:

Most Pertuniti users already have a business or private smartphone, which is why using the smartphone as a second factor usually does not incur any additional costs.

Physical security keys naturally incur additional costs unless they have already been purchased for another service. Physical security keys are now available at very acceptable prices.

Platform-independent

Multi-factor authentication can be used on all major platforms, both on your laptop and on your smartphone.

Windows 11, Chrome

MacOS, Safari

Ubuntu 23.04, Firefox

iOS, Safari (NFC)

Android, Chrome (USB)

Compatibility of security keys

Pertuniti supports hardware security keys via webauthn, which is supported by numerous providers of corresponding security keys and by virtually all modern browsers. We have tested the compatibility of the following security keys, all of which can be used with Pertuniti:

Name	Manufacturer	Interface	Made in	Compatibility
Name	Manufacturer	Interface	Made in	Windows (11)	macOS (Ventura)	Ubuntu (23.04)	iOS (16)	Android (13)
Google Titan Security Key	Google	USB-C, NFC	USA & China		1)
Swissbit iShield Key Pro	Swissbit	USB-A, NFC	Germany			2)
Swissbit iShield Key FIDO2	Swissbit	USB-A, NFC	Germany			2)
YubiKey Security Key NFC	Yubico	USB-A, NFC	Sweden & USA
YubiKey Security Key C NFC	Yubico	USB-C, NFC	Sweden & USA

1) The Google Titan Security Key could not be registered under Safari, but a login works without problems. Use e.g. Chrome or Firefox to register the security key.

2) Neither login nor registration were possible under Firefox or Chromium. The test ran under a virtual machine with Ubuntu 23.04 for ARM. Other Linux distributions or platforms might still work.

The following browsers were tested:

Windows (11): Chrome, Edge, Firefox
macOS (Ventura): Safari, Chrome
Ubuntu (23.04): Firefox, Chromium
iOS (16): Safari (connected via NFC)
Android (13): Chrome (connected via USB-C and adapter for USB-A)
