How does GateKeeper Proximity work?

How Passwords work on GateKeeper Proximity®

GateKeeper is a wireless proximity authentication solution to log in to your computer and websites instantly while maintaining a strong security posture.

It consists of a software application that runs on the computer (GateKeeper Client), a USB proximity sensor to enable Bluetooth Low Energy communication for the computer, a wireless token (GateKeeper Halberd hard token or Trident app), and computer username with password. 

Once the Client application is installed on a computer, a user can register a GateKeeper hard or soft token with it, and associate a domain or local credential with it. Now, when the GateKeeper token is brought close to the computer, the user can log in either automatically or using 2FA/MFA. When the token moves out of range, the computer will automatically lock.

With GateKeeper Enterprise, you also get access to the GateKeeper Hub server application which is used to set up user authorizations on all computers on the network, centrally manage user tokens and credentials, and also collect audit logs from all computers on the network for compliance needs.
