FastPass for Frontline Workers: How Avery Dennison Deployed Passwordless MFA at Global Scale

In this exclusive webinar, leaders from Avery Dennison, Okta, and OLOID came together to discuss how one of the world's leading materials science companies eliminated password friction for over 35,000 frontline workers across global manufacturing.

With 50+ countries, high-volume shift transitions, and shared workstations across factory floors, Avery Dennison needed authentication built for the realities of frontline operations. Together with Okta and OLOID, Avery Dennison deployed badge + PIN passwordless MFA across 35,000+ frontline workers, creating a global access standard now scaling across three continents. 

Key Insights from the Webinar

• The frontline authentication gap: Traditional MFA was built for desk workers. On shared devices with no personal phones, mobile-based authentication creates delays, lockouts, and security gaps that add up to over 30 minutes of lost productivity per worker per shift.
• Badge + PIN as the answer: A simple tap-and-PIN workflow meets MFA requirements without requiring personal devices, reducing login time and eliminating password resets entirely.
• Okta as the backbone: Seamless integration with Okta SSO and SCIM provisioning meant Avery Dennison could manage the full identity lifecycle without rebuilding their existing infrastructure.
• A deployment built to scale: End-to-end badge + PIN workflows, rfIDEAS hardware validation, and centralized MDM rollout created a repeatable blueprint now serving as the global standard.
• Global rollout in practice: What started as a deployment challenge across tens of thousands of employees across multiple regions is now a reference model for manufacturing environments worldwide.

What Changed on the Ground 

• Faster access on the floor: Workers tap their badge and enter a PIN to log in instantly, eliminating delays during shift transitions and reducing time lost to authentication.
• Reduced IT burden: Password resets dropped significantly, freeing IT teams from repetitive support requests and letting them focus on higher-value work.
• Unified MFA without personal devices: Badge + PIN meets MFA requirements across shared workstations, closing a security gap that mobile-based methods could not address in manufacturing environments.‍
• Scalable global standardization: A single deployment model now covers multiple regions and device types, giving Avery Dennison a consistent, auditable access experience across the entire organization.
