experience.
With Synacor's Cloud ID SDK, authentication for any mobile app

the following key features:
- Support for iOS and Android native apps
- Auto Authentication for consumer in-home access to media with
no credentials required
- Social Login via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ sign-in

Additional features soon to be released include out-of-home Auto
Authentication and Single Sign-On across mobile apps, allowing
consumers to access multiple apps without needing to re-enter their
credentials.
MVPDs, programmers and OTT providers benefit from faster
time-to-market, reduced development costs, access to a rich user
profile to personalize the experience, and fraud management.
Further, Cloud ID SDK enhances subscriber satisfaction by providing
frictionless access to the media consumers want.
"Cloud ID SDKs make for a rapid onboarding experience for our
customers building and operating mobile video apps, speeding
time-to-market and opening-up Synacor to broader market segments,"
said John Kavanagh, Senior Director, Identity Management for
Synacor. "Reaching tens of millions of cable TV and satellite TV
accounts, our Cloud ID Authentication platform has become a
preferred choice among OTT providers."
In related news for Synacor Cloud ID, just in time for the
madness of the 2015 NCAA Men's college basketball playoffs, Synacor
has expanded Auto Authentication availability with new launches.
Instead of the hassle of password entry, with Cloud ID Auto
Authentication, one click is all it takes for subscribers to unlock
live video of the must-see tournament from any device on their home
network.

authentication services for video, messaging, premium services and
