About us

We are 0pass

And we’re on a mission to create a world where an entire organization's future isn't determined by an employee's mistake. Right now, we’re making that reality.

The making of 0pass

Making a login where there’s nothing to steal

While at SpaceX, Noah Stanford was faced with a monumental task. One day, his boss showed him a YubiKey and shared an ambitious vision to secure every login at SpaceX. SpaceX's systems were prime targets for major threat actors so moving to phishing and theft resistant logins was a top cybersecurity priority. The goal was to get all 10,000 employees, and the hundreds of workstations, apps, and servers that they accessed, behind the strongest possible form of authentication. 

Noah looked at the offerings on the market, but they all were overly focused on one part of the problem or were overly cumbersome.  He needed something to integrate with all their infrastructure, meet their security requirements, and be easy for every employee to adopt. After months of searching, he decided to build a solution.

With approval from the VP of Security, Noah led a team of engineers to solve the problem. This new solution would integrate with servers, every kind of operating system, and web apps. It would make it just a few clicks for employees to enroll and improve their experience at every login. 

This is when Noah had a unique insight. Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and now SpaceX, had pioneered the use of security keys across every part of the company. But what about all the other companies who did not have a team of engineers who could spend years building it? And so, the idea of 0pass was born. 

0pass helps organizations stop attackers from stealing credentials and breaching corporate systems. Secure authentication methods that come with YubiKeys, Touch ID, Face ID, and Windows Hello can stop credential theft, but organizations need a way to roll them out and manage them. 0pass orchestrates enrollment, system integration, and management for strong authentication.
