Enterprise password management without a password database
S-Badge keeps credentials on a fingerprint-locked hardware badge and passes them to approved applications without a keyboard, so there is no central password vault to breach and nothing to type, steal or reset.
Quick answer
S-Badge works as an enterprise password manager by holding credentials on the badge itself. After a live fingerprint match, the badge releases them to administrator-approved applications through the GNS Secure Browser, without keystrokes. Because credentials are not kept in a server-side password database, a stolen or phished password cannot open the door.
What the credential layer does
Credential vaulting on the badge
Credential vaulting is part of the IAM lifecycle that S-Badge handles on the badge, alongside token management, entitlement management, provisioning and privilege auditing.
Secure Browser for up to 32 web apps
After a live match the GNS Secure Browser talks only to administrator-approved apps, blocking phishing and user error across enterprise suites, banking portals, cloud ERPs and intranets.
Keyboardless entry
Credentials are passed from the S-Badge to protected applications without using a keyboard, which removes keylogging, memory-dump and screenshot theft from the login path.
No server-side password database
S-Badge eliminates server-side password databases and identity-token theft. Every login is signed locally at the hardware level.
Fewer resets and lockouts
GNS reports password resets and reissuance costs cut by up to 78%, and removes password-expiry tickets for the help desk.

Common questions
Is S-Badge a password manager?
S-Badge performs the password-manager function on a hardware badge: it vaults credentials and releases them to approved apps after a live fingerprint match, instead of storing them in a cloud or server vault.
How many applications can the Secure Browser protect?
The GNS Secure Browser protects up to 32 web apps in a zero-entry single sign-on container, covering enterprise suites, banking portals, cloud ERPs and secure intranets.
What happens if a password is phished?
The Secure Browser talks only to administrator-approved apps and FIDO2 / WebAuthn will not sign to unauthorized domains, so credentials are not released to a look-alike page.
