What is Legitimi? Legitimi works to prevent unauthorized access to applications and services ordinarily protected by usernames and passwords. A common scenario would be in the case of compromised user account information, where someone is accessing an account to use it for unauthorized transactions either to impersonate or defraud. 

The Legitimi software authentication system works to mitigate this scenario by pairing the username and password already existing in the product or serivce with the device being used to conduct the transaction. A user thus becomes associated with the device. In order for an unauthorized user to take advantage of the protected account, the unauthorized user would have to attempt access from the protected users machine. By its nature then, someone in a remote location could not make use of the protected account.
