Scenario
Your team runs cloud VPSes, manages root access across environments, and has remote workers. Cloud provider consoles and self-hosted control planes increasingly support security-key sign-in. You want the team on stronger-than-password auth, but a full identity platform (Okta, Entra) is more than you need, and per-seat YubiKey procurement is hard to justify at your stage.
How Gatebridge helps
- Every engineer’s phone becomes a hardware-backed security key for every control plane.
- Team admin console: onboard people, revoke lost devices, audit access.
- Access lists restrict which services each engineer can sign in to.
- Scales from 5 to 200 people without changing the auth model.
Typical setup
Engineer → Cloud console / Grafana / CI dashboard → Engineer's phone
What it costs
Team plan (about $5 to $10 per person per month). Move to the Business tier when you need single sign-on, a support agreement, and stricter policies.
