📄️ What is Beyond Identity?
Beyond Identity is an identity access management platform designed to help developers deploy the strongest authentication primitives on the planet for customers, employees, and contractors.
📄️ Universal Passkeys
Beyond Identity authenticates users and their devices by cryptographically binding users to devices, providing complete control over who and what devices can access your SaaS apps and cloud infrastructure.
📄️ Platform Overview
Beyond Identity uses the Beyond Identity Cloud and Beyond Identity Authenticators to establish user identity and authorization. The Cloud hosts user directories, authentication servers, event logs, and policy rules, while Authenticators are endpoint components embedded in applications that work with the Cloud to authenticate users and authorize actions based on configured policies.
📄️ Beyond Identity API
All Beyond Identity API endpoints require an access token for authentication. You'll generate the access token with your Beyond Identity Management API application to authorize access to any Beyond Identity APIs.
