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.

The three pillars

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.

Pillar I

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.

Pillar II

Lightning deterrent

A small Bitcoin Lightning invoice gates every unrecognized attempt. For the first time, attacking at scale actually costs money.

Pillar III

Forced attribution

Just touching the invoice builds a threat profile — wallet, origin, and timing — with no honeypots or decoys to run.

Telemetry & intelligence

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.

Early breach indicators

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.
