Passwords Aren't Enough. Add a Second Factor.
Mideye adds multi-factor authentication to your VPNs, firewalls, and applications — on your infrastructure, under your control, with European data residency.
Why Does Multi-Factor Authentication Matter?
Stolen credentials are the #1 cause of data breaches. Phishing, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks can compromise even strong passwords. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) can block the vast majority of account compromise attacks by requiring a second verification — something users have (a phone or hardware token), not just something they know (a password).
Regulations like NIS2, DORA, and GDPR increasingly mandate MFA for critical infrastructure, financial services, and personal data protection. If you're evaluating MFA solutions, the question isn't whether to deploy it — it's how. See our compliance framework overview for specific requirements.

Why Choose Mideye?
Most MFA providers are cloud-only — your credentials, your users, your authentication decisions live on someone else's servers. Mideye is different.
Mideye Server runs in your datacenter. Passwords and authentication decisions are processed locally within your infrastructure. Your user directory stays untouched — no schema changes to Active Directory or LDAP.
The central delivery service — SMS routing, push notifications, and token logistics — is hosted in Sweden. Designed to support GDPR, NIS2, and DORA compliance requirements.
Integrates via standard RADIUS — the protocol your VPN and firewall already speak. No agents to install, no proxies to maintain, no application changes required. See integration examples.

SMS/RCS Delivery
Token Logistics
User credentials and authentication decisions stay on your server. Only delivery requests traverse the encrypted connection to Mideye Central.
What Authentication Methods Are Available?
Different users need different methods. Mideye supports them all — and users can switch between them without admin intervention.
Push Authentication (Mideye+ App) Recommended
One-tap approval on iPhone and Android. No codes to type — users simply tap Approve or Reject. Works over WiFi when mobile networks are unavailable. Includes offline TOTP for air-gapped environments.
Push authentication is resistant to most phishing attacks since there's no code to intercept. Combined with Mideye Shield, it also protects against MFA fatigue attacks.
SMS One-Time Password
A numeric code delivered via SMS to any mobile phone — no app installation needed. Works on feature phones and smartphones alike. The simplest way to add a second factor for users who can't or won't install apps.
Mideye maintains direct connections to mobile operators worldwide for low-latency delivery, and tracks delivery receipts in real-time. SMS OTP is significantly more secure than passwords alone, and remains the most widely deployed MFA method globally.
Hardware Tokens
Physical OATH-compliant tokens for environments where mobile phones aren't allowed or users don't have smartphones. Support for YubiKey, HID, and PSKC-compatible tokens. No battery, no network — just a code.
Use your existing tokens or order from Mideye with worldwide shipping. Ideal for defense, healthcare, manufacturing, and other high-security sectors.
TOTP (Offline One-Time Passwords)
Time-based one-time passwords generated by the Mideye+ app or any standard authenticator app. No network connection needed at login time — perfect for air-gapped environments, offline scenarios, or as a fallback method.

What Advanced Capabilities Does Mideye Offer?
Assisted Login
Delegated authentication for teams. A supervisor approves access for a team member in real-time via push notification — ideal for shared workstations, help desks, and break-glass scenarios.
- Active Directory & Entra ID group-based authorization
- Full audit trail of every approval
- Customizable challenge questions
Shared Accounts
MFA for shared or service accounts where multiple people use the same credentials. Each user identifies themselves with their own phone or token, creating individual accountability on shared accounts.
Learn about Shared Accounts →Cloud Authentication API
MFA without server installation. A simple REST API for push notifications and SMS delivery — just provide a phone number. Hosted in Sweden with EU data residency.
- Single REST endpoint
- Automatic push/SMS fallback
- EU data residency (Europe-based cloud)
What Is Mideye Shield?
Real-time defense against authentication attacks
Deploying MFA is step one. Protecting it from attack is step two. Mideye Shield blocks brute-force attacks, password spraying, and MFA fatigue attacks before they reach your users. Threat intelligence is shared across all connected Mideye instances — when an attack is detected, participating servers are protected.
- Automatic IP blocking based on behavior patterns
- Protection against MFA prompt bombing
- No configuration required — one-click enable
