Pay Factor Authentication
The economic factor that sits in front of your identity provider. Authorized users sign in untouched. Every unauthorized attempt pays a cost — and becomes evidence. Less noise, cleaner signal, no rip-and-replace.
A passkey and an economic factor — not a replacement
AuthLN adds one factor to every login and leaves the rest of your stack alone. It rests on three parts: a passkey only the real user holds, a cost only an attacker pays, and a record of everyone who tried.
Device-bound passkey
A FIDO2 key lives in the device's secure chip. Nothing to phish, steal, or replay — and the user never types a password.
Lightning deterrent
A small Bitcoin Lightning invoice gates every unrecognized attempt. For the first time, attacking at scale actually costs money.
Forced attribution
Just touching the invoice builds a threat profile — wallet, origin, and timing — with no honeypots or decoys to run.
Every attempt, on the record
Every login — clean or hostile — is captured per user: who tried, when, from where, the credential they aimed at, and how it resolved. Not a wall of anomaly scores to interpret. A plain record your team can act on and your auditors can trust.
Front-door warning, before a breach
The signal is behavior, not a breach alert. How long an attacker held a live invoice before giving up, repeat attempts, and unusual patterns at the gate — tells that surface intent before anything downstream logs a compromise.
See intent early
A failed Pay Factor attempt flags a targeted account before the credentials are ever abused.
Read the behavior
Invoice dwell time and repeat tries show how hard someone is pushing — and from where.
Act automatically
Hand the signal to your tooling to isolate the pattern the moment it appears.
Move from reactive defense to proactive deterrence.
