GateKeeper was introduced as a way to remove dependencies from outsourced user authentication services. As a financial institution in order to sign with another company, Lucera would have had to involve our legal department, which would have been a very long, egregious process. Building our own user authentication was our solution, and we named it GateKeeper. Pretty catchy right?
The service would consult with our user management system, Passkey, and grant access into our suite of applications. Gatekeeper covered the basics such as login, logout, forgot password, and change password. It also held additional features such as kicking a trader out of the platform if their internet speed was too slow, or if they were logged into the application overnight.
The following screens are a sample of the work that went into designing and building GateKeeper.

Sign in had multiple checks for signing in such as verifying there’s a server response, valid credentials, number of failed attempted sign ins, and verifying if the account was unlocked.
