User-Device Associations

For subsequent evaluations, RiskMinder uniquely identifies a user as a valid user by automatically associating (or binding) a user to the device that they use to access your application. This is referred to as an association (or device binding) in RiskMinder terminology. Users who are not bound are more likely to receive the Increase Authentication advice to be authenticated.

RiskMinder also allows users to be bound to more than one device. For example, a user can use a work and a home computer to access your application. Similarly, you can bind a single device to more than one user. For example, members of a family can use one computer to access your application.
