MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION

What does multifactor authentication mean in live communications?

It means you use more than one source of identity evidence during the conversation, not relying on a single static check (like a login).

Login MFA pairs a credential with a second factor: an authenticator app, a security key, or a one-time code. Once someone is through, the check is done. A live call doesn't work that way. Risk can show up at any point during a call. That’s why Pindrop passively analyzes in the background. On a call, that can include voice, device, and call origin. In a meeting, it can include passive voice authentication, live audio and video analysis, and location risk.

That's continuous identity verification: risk reassessed as the conversation develops.

Live meeting workflow

How does Pindrop bring multifactor authentication to calls and meetings?

Authentication checks happen in real-time during the conversation, evaluating signals to determine if the participant or caller is who they say they are.

Caller authentication in contact centers

Pindrop® Passport authenticates callers from the moment a call connects, through your IVR and live agent workflows.

Participant verification in virtual meetings

Pindrop Pulse® for Meetings verifies participant identity inside Zoom, Cisco Webex, and Microsoft Teams meetings. It pairs live audio and video deepfake analysis with passive voice authentication.

Where can multifactor authentication safeguard high-stakes interactions?

Anywhere a live conversation can move money, grant access, or expose data someone else wants.

Use case

Customer service and account recovery
Build identity confidence before your agent resets a password, changes a profile, or moves money. Passport authenticates the caller through the IVR and agent stages.

Use case

Remote hiring and employee onboarding
Spot a proxy interviewee. Pulse for Meetings analyzes their voice against their previously enrolled profile, flagging voice mismatches between meetings.

Use case

Executive, board, and financial approvals
Time-sensitive transactions require additional identity verification. Add to live video so finance knows when the real CFO is actually on the call.

INDUSTRY

IT helpdesks and workforce support
Authenticate before password resets, MFA resets, and privilege changes—whether that request is from a customer call or an employee meeting.
