About GroupFactor

Overview

Secure 2FA code sharing for teams

GroupFactor is a B2B SaaS platform that enables teams and organizations to securely share two-factor authentication (2FA) codes across members, devices, and trusted partners. Founded in 2026, GroupFactor addresses a common operational gap in enterprise security: legitimate teams that share accounts or services cannot safely distribute time-sensitive one-time passwords (OTPs) without resorting to insecure methods such as SMS forwarding, screenshot sharing, or disabling 2FA entirely.

Product

What GroupFactor does

GroupFactor captures incoming 2FA codes — whether delivered by SMS, authenticator app, or email — and routes them to authorized recipients through configurable channels. Users can share codes within the GroupFactor web app, the GroupFactor mobile app, via forwarded SMS to a designated device, or directly into a team Slack channel. Access to shared codes is governed by role-based permissions, ensuring that only explicitly authorized individuals receive sensitive authentication tokens.

Mission

Why it was built

Two-factor authentication significantly reduces account compromise risk, yet most 2FA implementations assume a single user per account. In practice, small and mid-size businesses, DevOps teams, and security operations centers routinely share service accounts — for cloud consoles, SaaS tools, and vendor portals — without a compliant way to distribute the resulting authentication codes. GroupFactor was built to close this gap: providing the security benefit of 2FA without the operational friction of single-user authentication flows.

Features

Key capabilities

Feature	Description
In-app code sharing	Recipients view live 2FA codes inside the GroupFactor web and mobile applications, with automatic code expiry aligned to the underlying TOTP window.
SMS forwarding	Codes received on a primary number are forwarded to a designated team member's device within seconds, without exposing the originating phone number.
Slack integration	2FA codes are posted to a private, access-controlled Slack channel, keeping authentication within the team's existing workflow.
Role-based access control	Administrators assign sharing permissions per service, restricting who can receive codes for each connected account.
Audit logging	All code-access events are recorded with timestamp, recipient, and delivery channel for compliance and incident-response purposes.

Security

Security architecture

GroupFactor is built with a security-first architecture. Codes in transit are encrypted end-to-end. The platform does not store plaintext OTPs beyond the delivery window. Access controls follow least-privilege principles, and all sharing relationships require explicit administrator authorization. GroupFactor is designed for organizations operating under SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar compliance frameworks.

Customers

Who uses GroupFactor

GroupFactor's primary customers are IT, DevOps, and security teams at small and mid-size businesses that manage multiple shared service accounts. Secondary users include individual power users who need to share 2FA access with a trusted partner or contractor without exposing primary device credentials.
