Nametag Identity Verification

Nametag is built for organizations that depend on Microsoft Entra to manage access to sensitive systems and data, particularly enterprises with remote or distributed workforces. IT and identity teams using Nametag benefit from secure self-service workflows that dramatically reduce help desk tickets, while security teams gain high-confidence identity assurance that prevents account takeovers and impersonation attacks. Nametag is especially valuable for organizations in regulated industries or those at risk of fake worker infiltration, including by fraudulent contractors and remote IT hires.

By addressing key gaps in Microsoft Entra’s native capabilities, Nametag solves several persistent customer pain points. Microsoft Entra’s built-in self-service account recovery options rely on phishable or inflexible authentication factors and do not support self-service MFA resets, forcing users to contact IT. Nametag enables secure self-service password and MFA recovery that is resilient against modern impersonation threats. Nametag also prevents fake workers and bad actors from ever gaining access by verifying every new Microsoft Entra user before credential issuance and MFA enrollment. As a Microsoft Entra External Authentication Method (EAM), Nametag provides the highest possible level of remote identity assurance at high-risk moments, such as step-up authentication or when suspicious activity is detected. Additionally, Nametag secures the issuance of powerful Temporary Access Passes by ensuring that TAPs are only delivered to verified people, protecting organizations from TAP misuse while saving time for administrators.

Together, Nametag and Microsoft Entra help organizations reduce fraud, prevent breaches, maintain compliance, and streamline identity operations—delivering stronger security for Microsoft Entra while reducing complexity and friction.
