By eliminating the use of insecure passwords, users are provided with superior usability and more robust security. \n \nRapID Secure Login is a WordPress Plugin that works with an Android or iOS app. Available through the WordPress Plugin Directory, it harnesses Intercede's RapID credentialing service to provide high security authentication using 2048-bit cryptographic keys without having to write a line of code.\n \nTo login from any desktop browser, users scan a QR-code with RapID-SL on a smartphone.

Users also don't need to remember complex passwords that can be hacked.
