Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge listed as BEYOND IDENTITY* AUTH on your credit card statement comes from Beyond Identity, Inc., a cybersecurity company specializing in passwordless multi-factor authentication and zero-trust endpoint security. This charge represents a Beyond Identity Passwordless Authentication Subscription, which organizations use to replace conventional passwords with hardware-bound cryptographic keys. The descriptor may also appear as BEYOND IDENTITY INC or BEYONDID CLOUD, often billing around $75.00 per month for starter user tiers or developer API access.
Unreviewed registry note: This payment appears because someone in your organization registered for workforce authentication or integrated the company API into a customer-facing product.
