UNLOQ

What UNLOQ is

UNLOQ is a passwordless authentication system for applications, with Android, iOS, web, API, and self-hosted platforms. Users can sign in through push notifications, TOTP, or email, and biometric login is supported. Developers can connect it using an API, code examples, a customisable login widget, or plugins; a WordPress two-factor authentication plugin is also available. For sensitive workflows, the service can ask users to approve or deny defined actions, including transactions, document sharing, and workflow approvals. City Wall and IP Restriction controls can limit access by country, city, or IP address. Real-time analytics show login locations and times, preferred authentication methods, and devices in use. Customers can customise logos, colours, and splash screens for mobile and web applications, and UNLOQ can generate iOS and Android application files. Integration is available on premise or in the cloud, while custom mobile apps are offered only for on-premise deployments. The free plan supports 1–100 users with unlimited authentications and authorisations. The next listed monthly tier is 19.00 USD for 101–200 users. The maker lists AES 256 encryption for mobile data and TLS with HSTS for website, mobile, and API traffic. Support options include documentation, device deactivation, and email contact.

Who it suits

UNLOQ suits developers and companies that need passwordless sign-in for their applications, with options spanning mobile, web, API, and self-hosted deployments. It may also fit teams that want authentication controls for sensitive actions, access restrictions, or branded mobile and web experiences.

Limits

The free plan covers 1–100 users. Above that, the listed monthly tiers cover users in batches of 100; custom notifications and user encryption keys are listed as extras.

Verdict

Choose UNLOQ if you need passwordless application authentication with several sign-in methods, access controls, and a free tier for up to 100 users. Look elsewhere if your custom mobile app must be deployed in the cloud, since custom mobile apps are limited to on-premise deployments.
