As cyber threats continue to evolve, traditional password-based authentication is no longer enough to protect sensitive information. Device-based verification adds an extra layer of security by linking user accounts to specific, trusted devices. This method ensures that even if a hacker steals login credentials, they cannot access an account without the registered device.



In this article, we’ll explore what device-based verification is, how it works, its benefits, and best practices for implementation.



What is Device-Based Verification?

Device-based verification is a security method that associates a user’s account with a trusted device (such as a smartphone, laptop, or tablet). If a login attempt is made from an unrecognized device, the system requires additional authentication before granting access.
