Achieve 100% 2FA Compliance—No Codes, No Friction

Let’s be honest, most two-factor authentication (2FA) methods are kind of a pain. Whether it’s scrambling to find your phone, entering a one-time code, or figuring out how to register a passkey, the process usually asks something of you. That’s fine for tech-savvy users. But what about everyone else?

We’re talking about your parents, grandparents, your friend who still thinks a QR code is a kind of cereal. The folks who just want to use their bank, check their email, or sign in to their insurance portal without jumping through hoops or worrying about “the security stuff.” This group represents the majority of people trying to access a service or buy something online.

At Ideem, we think it’s time to stop putting the burden on users. Instead, we built something that does the work for you, quietly, invisibly, all the time.

Compliance Without Complexity

Most organizations want strong 2FA because it's the right thing to do. It keeps accounts safer and helps meet regulatory requirements. But rolling it out successfully? That’s another story.

  • People forget to enroll.
  • Others get frustrated and drop off.
  • And let’s not even talk about support tickets for lost devices or expired codes.

According to research by the FIDO Alliance, even passkeys, which were designed to be easier than passwords, still require user understanding and effort to set up across devices and ecosystems [1].

Ideem flips the script. Our Zero-Trust Secure Module (ZSM) runs continuously in the background, verifying users automatically. There’s nothing to enroll in. No steps to remember. No codes, keys, or “one last thing” before logging in.

Once it’s set up at the organization level, it just works—for everyone.

No Opt-In, No Effort, No Problem

Unlike passkeys, which still require users to set things up (and understand what a passkey even is), Ideem requires absolutely no action from the user. Not even a tap. That’s a game-changer for:

  • Older adults who might struggle with tech
  • People with cognitive or physical limitations
  • Anyone who’s simply busy, distracted, or not interested in learning another login step

This is critical, because older adults are particularly vulnerable to cybercrime, yet often lack the digital literacy needed to navigate common security tools [2]. If you can open a browser, you’re already using Ideem. That’s it.

Invisible andAlways On

You don’t need to see the security to know it’s there. In fact, we believe the best security experience is one you don’t even notice. Our approach maintains a continuous, invisible check on user identity, so your account stays protected without ever slowing you down.

This isn’t just good for end users, it’s a win for IT teams too. Less friction means better compliance and fewer support headaches. According to a Google study, over half of users who start setting up 2FA never complete the process [3]. So even “available” 2FA doesn’t equal “adopted” 2FA.

Making Compliance Inclusive

Security should work for everyone, not just those who know how to tinker with browser settings. With Ideem, organizations can reach 100% 2FA compliance across their user base, without requiring users to understand what 2FA even is.

That means your platform stays secure, your compliance boxes get ticked, and your users just… use your service. As it should be.
