How ZenKey Works
Your carrier has a unique ability to identify and protect your mobile Identity. ZenKey uses this ability to convert your wireless carrier’s network into a secure conduit between you and your favorite apps and websites. This results in an easier and more secure way for you to create, log into and use your accounts.
Initial Setup
During ZenKey setup, the link between you, your phone and your carrier is verified, and your carrier is notified. To activate the main features of ZenKey, you must first connect it to a third-party app or website, which may require entering a securely stored PIN for added security.
Registration
ZenKey only works with third-party apps and websites that are pre-approved for quality and compatibility. Your wireless carrier passes along the information that you choose to share, allowing you to create accounts quickly and more securely—while keeping your data private.
Login
When you tap the ZenKey button to log in to participating third-party apps or websites, a confirmation request is sent to your wireless carrier to verify your device and check for suspicious activity. Your carrier confirms the requesting app or website was previously consented to by you and sends validation, automatically logging you in.
Authorization
For transactions that require authentication—like purchases or bank transfers—your wireless carrier confirms that you have given consent for the third-party app or website making the request, and then pushes an authorization notification to you through ZenKey. Simply tap the screen to confirm and complete your transaction.
