RapID Overview
RapID is a secure and simple way of allowing you to authenticate your users using two-factor authentication. Instead of using usernames and passwords, the RapID service securely deploys unique credentials onto your end-users' devices. Your app uses these credentials to prove the end-user's authenticity when signing in to your service.
If keys and certificates are a bit of a mystery to you, please read Explaining certificates.
How much does it cost?
RapID is licensed on the basis of one credential per app per device. So, for example, if Sam Jones had installed two of your apps on his smartphone, but only one of them on his tablet, then that would require three licenses.
A credential is required for each device an end user accesses your web service from. If the end user replaces a device for any reason the new device will need a new credential.
There is no additional cost regardless of the number of times a credential is used to access your web service.
