OneSpan and Nok Nok are reimagining authentication together
Authentication must evolve beyond static credentials and outdated paradigms to meet the needs of today’s digital-first economy. At OneSpan, our vision has always centered on delivering secure, scalable, and seamless authentication experiences that anticipate what’s next — not just what’s now.
Our acquisition of Nok Nok Labs represents a bold acceleration. By bringing together two pioneers in modern authentication, we’re poised to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive, standards-based passwordless authentication platform.
A legacy of trust, a future without passwords
OneSpan’s foundation was built on protecting the world’s most mission-critical digital interactions. We’ve helped global banks, fintech innovators, and enterprises secure billions of transactions. But the future demands more than incremental improvements. It requires a fundamental shift toward phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication that meets users where they are — on any device, in any context, without compromising security.
Our acquisition of Nok Nok represents a strategic leap toward this passwordless future.
Two FIDO board members. One unified platform.
Nok Nok and OneSpan have long shared a commitment to advancing the FIDO Alliance’s mission. As board-level contributors, we’ve each played a formative role in shaping the passwordless standards that now underpin modern digital identity.
Together, our combined FIDO capabilities, including mobile UAF apps, an extensible and comprehensive FIDO2 server with policy engines, FIDO2 security keys, and SDKs, position us as the go-to partner for enterprises implementing phishing-resistant authentication solutions at scale. Whether your organization is navigating zero-trust initiatives, regulatory mandates, or consumer-facing digital channels, we bring the flexibility to meet those needs with speed and confidence.
"This is an exciting combination for the FIDO Alliance and the authentication market in general. Nok Nok has been a trailblazer in the FIDO ecosystem, and we’re thrilled to see their innovation carried forward through OneSpan’s global reach and resources."
Andrew Shikiar, Executive Director & CEO, FIDO Alliance
Why Nok Nok: Innovation that meets real-world complexity
Nok Nok has redefined what it means to deploy FIDO authentication in production. With capabilities like SmartSense (adaptive AI/ML authentication) and Smart Analytics (insight-driven optimization), they’ve enabled top-tier organizations across the U.S., Asia, and Europe to implement secure, frictionless authentication experiences at scale.
By integrating Nok Nok’s software stack with OneSpan’s hardware, mobile, and cloud offerings, we’re enabling enterprise customers to address every authentication scenario — from workforce to consumer, from regulated industries to emerging markets.
Securing the future with FIDO2 security keys
Our Digipass FIDO2 security keys are purpose-built to deliver device-bound, phishing-resistant login experiences. They’re engineered to meet the most demanding security requirements while ensuring compatibility across billions of devices.
With the surge in passkey adoption and the broader industry momentum behind FIDO2, enterprises now have a clear, standards-based path away from passwords — without sacrificing usability or control.
What’s next
We’re just getting started. Over the coming months, you’ll see the strength of this integration come to life through product innovation, expanded partner ecosystems, and deeper customer engagement.
