HID Crescendo Key Series

Crescendo security keys offer strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) and passwordless authentication that enhance remote access security, eliminating the need for a smart card reader for employees on the go.

HID Crescendo Smart Card Series

Crescendo Smart Cards can be used as a universal credential — a corporate badge that offers both physical access to facilities and passwordless access to digital enterprise resources, like workstation login and network access.

Step Up Your Security

Designed to be easy and fast to deploy, the Crescendo portfolio enables organizations to adopt a zero-trust security approach, protecting personal and corporate data while meeting compliance and cybersecurity requirements, such as CJIS and NIS2. The portfolio includes FIDO2, PKI, and OATH for logical access.

Crescendo authenticators can be used both as stand-alone products or with our multi-factor authentication ecosystem, such as the Credential Management System (CMS) and DigitalPersona, for organizations looking for a large-scale security implementation and for highly regulated industries.
