"Passwordless" authentication

Surfacing strategic trends alongside tactical insights

A new way to log in

Our team built a net new authentication tool that is live in market today. Citi clients no longer need a username or password to reach Citi.com from their desktop — they use the Citi Mobile App instead. Multiple rounds of primary and secondary research contributed to that effort.

The full case study covers:

  • A mixed-methods approach to design research — a “pulse check” survey, followed by usability testing
  • Remote usability testing of an experience that spans two devices, with simulated QR codes
