Pw-Free Online Evaluator

The Pw-Free Online Evaluator analyzes passwordless authentication options for web applications and guides teams through a structured evaluation. It accepts inputs about user base, risk tolerance, and regulatory requirements, then compares methods such as WebAuthn/FIDO2, magic links, and OTP codes. It outputs a prioritized recommendation, an estimated cost, and a migration plan. The tool emphasizes security properties (phishing resistance, credential theft risk) and user experience impact (login friction, device support) to support pragmatic decisions.
Conceptually, it uses a scoring model that combines technical risk, implementation effort, and total cost of ownership to rank options. It accounts for regional constraints, identity provider integrations, and data residency considerations, aligning with OWASP and NIST guidance for passwordless deployment.
Beneficiaries include security engineers, product managers, IT leaders, and compliance officers who must balance protection with usability while controlling budget. The tool’s unique value lies in its integrated cost calculator, scenario templates (small startup vs. large enterprise), and exportable evaluation reports, enabling rapid governance reviews and scalable rollouts. Core features include method comparison, risk-adjusted scoring, cost estimation, migration planning, and actionable implementation recommendations across common cloud stacks and hosted identity services. Use cases span onboarding optimization, B2B and B2C portals, and regulatory-compliant authenticator strategies.
