Physical Authentication Security Key

At Digicomm 360, we help businesses protect their systems, data and users with advanced cyber security solutions that are practical, secure and easy to use.

Strong Multi-Factor Authentication Made Simple

Passwords alone are no longer enough. Cybercriminals target weak, stolen and reused passwords every day, which is why businesses are increasingly moving towards stronger Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions.

Our new AuthKey Physical Passkey Security devices provide a secure, hardware-based authentication method that helps protect your organisation against phishing attacks, credential theft and unauthorised access.

Want to learn more about why Multi-Factor Authentication is now mandatory for businesses?

Read our latest guide explaining why MFA is now mandatory for many organisations, how cybercriminals target weak passwords, and what businesses should be doing to stay protected. Read our blog: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Mandatory

What is a Physical Authentication Security Key?

Physical Authentication Security Key (AuthKey) devices are physical security keys designed to add an additional layer of protection to your business accounts and systems.

Unlike traditional authenticator apps that rely on mobile devices, AuthKey provides a physical authentication method that users simply tap and enter a PIN to verify their identity securely.

These devices are designed for modern businesses looking for:

Stronger cyber security

Passwordless authentication

Protection against phishing attacks

Simpler user login experiences

Compliance-focused authentication

Secure access for hybrid and remote workers

The Three Core Principles of MFA

Multi-Factor Authentication works by combining two or more security factors to verify identity.

By combining multiple factors, businesses dramatically reduce the risk of unauthorised access and cyber attacks.

Something You Know

Passwords, PINs or passphrases.

Something You Have

A smartphone, security token or AuthKey device.

Something You Are

Biometric verification such as fingerprints or facial recognition.

Why Physical Passkeys Are Replacing Authenticator Apps

Many businesses are now moving towards physical passkeys because they provide:

  • Better phishing resistance
  • Reduced account compromise risk
  • Faster and easier logins
  • Less reliance on employee mobile phones
  • Improved compliance and auditing
  • Stronger passwordless security

Physical passkeys are becoming a key part of modern cyber security strategies and are increasingly recommended for Microsoft 365 and cloud platform protection.

Customer Testimonials

Operations Manager - Bolton Arena

"I’ve worked with Digicomm for over 6 years on numerous projects and they now provide IT and Telephony services to Bolton Arena. Their support staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and go above and beyond to deal with any issues that may arise whether that be remotely or on site. From upgrading our IT network and associated hardware to the installation of a new telephony system I find Digicomm to be extremely professional in everything they do."

CEO - Go Ranks Ltd

"I highly recommend Mark Pollitt and his company Digicomm 360 Ltd, to any business wishing to reduce telephone and broadband costs.  After a detailed consultation and review with Mark, we were provided with a detailed proposal to install a new telephone for our Online Learning Platform.  Digicomm 360 Ltd will provide you with the right solution."

Office Manager - Heaton Medical Centre

"Whenever we have need to contact Digicomm, whether this be via email/ telephone call they are always very helpful and respond very quickly.
They have always helped and supported us with any issues/ queries we have had in the past.
A very good company with great staff."

CEO - Age UK Salford

"I'm so grateful that we placed our business with Digicomm. The solution you have provided us works brilliantly and especially in these challenging times, gives us the flexibility to keep working efficiently in a straightforward way when we cannot be office based.
The support from Tom and Warren has been responsive, timely and effective and delivered in a very friendly and accessible way."

Compliance Administrator - Manchester Deaf Centre

"Since our telephone system was installed in 2008 Digicomm 360 have always been on hand to offer great service and support, and recently when we needed them, they had our system up and running within the hour. Responsive, helpful staff and reliable service."

Owner - Raine & Bea

"Digicomm 360 came highly recommended by Martin Harrington (Chip n Pin) who recently set up a card payment system for me, prior to the opening of my new boutique in Clitheroe. After talking with the Digicomm team, they put together a solution to install a telephone/internet line and WiFi at the premises.

When I first moved into the building, I discovered that the phone line had been cut and wires were in disarray. Tom Hyde (Engineer) was very efficient in safely reconnecting the wires from outside and setting up the new internet and telephone line. Since installation, I have improved efficiencies around customer communication by having a landline and Wi-Fi that enables my card payment system to work. I am also able to update Raine & Bea’s social media accounts while on site. An excellent service from start to finish."

Managing Director - New Perspective NLP

"I would like to recommend Digicomm 360, a company that puts its customers first. This can only be done by the person in charge leading the way – Mark who is exemplary in his customer relationships."

Customer Service Manager - Heatrod Elements Limited

"My requests are always sorted in a very professional and quick manner. I’m very happy with Warren and his fantastic continued support of our account."

Managing Director - Business Over Breakfast

"I had lower back problems caused by holding my phone to my ear with my shoulder. After buying a Bluetooth headset from Digicomm, I could feel a massive difference within days. I could also walk around, whilst talking, making it much easier to reach my daily step goal.
I cannot recommend you and your team highly enough. The advice and service was outstanding, and I have no hesitation in recommending you to other businesses."

Managing Director- Commercial Contract Engineers

"We have been a customer of Digicomm for over 10 years now and during that time have received excellent service.
Over that time, they were involved in a full Telecoms system upgrade at our main site and then again in 2016 Digicomm set up the Telecoms system over at our additional site.
Their team are very knowledgeable and responds to our requests in a very timely manner which when in business is ultimately what the customer requires, great Service from a great team."

Westwood Motors

"What an experience can not fault this company from start to finish! We was in a rush to get a system up and running due to moving in a temporary building why the main office was being revamped! Lisa and Warren was there to help every step of the way to give everything we needed and squeeze us in at such short notice, thank you so much! Really appreciate it"

I have been using Digicomm360 for a number of years but recently upgraded all the telephone system and switched it all over to Digicomm. I have found the process hassle free, they are on the ball, ensuring it is all fitted in time as well as being on the end of a phone offering invaluable advise. I would highly recommend Digicomm360.
