With this alternative, users will be able – like never before – to make the most of a single smart card to seamlessly access data, log into cloud resources and open doors." The new product allows you to authenticate identification across applications and services across multiple endpoint devices and without the need to remember and re-enter additional codes and passwords. ActivID Tap Authentication for Microsoft is tightly integrated with Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Federation Services and HID Global's Authentication Cloud Service. The service does not require the payment of additional annual maintenance and support fees and both client software and user licenses are part of a flexible subscription fee allocation model. "With the ActivID Tap Authentication service built on top of Active Directory Federation Services software, it makes it easier for IT teams to manage different user multiple access scenarios and their passwords, eliminating the need for employees and other users to remember, extract and track multiple passwords," said Andrew Conway. Senior Director, Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Product Marketing. The solution includes ActivID Tap Authentication Provider, Tap App for Android, Tap Client for Windows 7, Authentication Cloud Services, HID Global Seos smart cards, and an optional OMNIKEY USB reader for Windows 7 computers without built-in NFC readers. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
