IDEE

Overview

IDEE offers phishing-resistant, passwordless multi-factor authentication from Munich, built on a transaction-based model with no shared secrets stored anywhere. Founded in 2015, it appeals to European mid-market and enterprise teams that want strong, modern MFA from an EU-based vendor with data residency in the region, often as a lighter alternative to the large US platforms.

What it is good at

A clean passwordless design and the absence of shared secrets are the strengths, which makes the approach phishing-resistant by construction. EU data residency and a published pricing model are genuine advantages for European buyers who must reason about GDPR and procurement, and the product is straightforward to stand up without the weight of a full identity suite.

Where it falls short

As a smaller European vendor, scale references, partner ecosystem, and global support footprint are more limited than the category leaders. It is a focused authentication product, not a broad identity platform, so SSO, provisioning, and governance come from elsewhere. Buyers outside Europe may find the regional focus less compelling.

Pricing

Subscription with published pricing, which is unusually transparent for this segment. Confirm against your seat count with the TCO calculator.

Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose it for European teams that want phishing-resistant passwordless MFA and prefer an EU-based vendor with clear pricing. Teams needing a large global support footprint should look at Duo or Microsoft Authenticator; those wanting standards-pure FIDO at scale should consider Nok Nok Labs. See the full MFA directory.

Bottom line

A solid, transparent EU-based passwordless MFA option for mid-market and enterprise teams that value data residency.
