Media Advisory: Javelin Research Concludes Online Banking Consumers Prefer Device Recognition for Authentication

Posted on: Wednesday, 15 February 2006, 12:00 CST

Javelin Research and Strategy reports that more than 50 percent of online banking consumers polled prefer device recognition. The report released today, Device Recognition for Online Authentication, reveals that authenticating the device(s) used to access online accounts is the most preferred solution over image display and one-time-password methods. The report was sponsored by iovation, the first device reputation authority for the Internet and provider of strong two-factor, two-way device authentication.

Device recognition is preferred by 52 percent of consumers who indicated that they feel safer or very safe having the device they use to access the Internet as a second factor of authentication. The report also concludes that device recognition solutions provide a balance between convenience and security for financial institutions implementing strong authentication solutions.

"Consumers show more likelihood to adopt a device recognition solution, and therefore the implementation bodes well for positive ROI and continued use of the online channel," said Bruce Cundiff, payments and financial industry research analyst at Javelin.

Javelin conducted this research in an effort to assist financial institutions in their decision processes for stronger authentication, ensuring that those decisions are based on a complete understanding of solutions which consumers are most likely to adopt, and provide a higher degree of confidence.
