Use case

Detect automation around high-risk login attempts

Credential-stuffing tools can replay exposed username and password pairs at scale. The login still needs its normal authentication and account-security controls.

Why it matters

A valid password does not prove a legitimate session

Credential stuffing uses real account data, so the form submission can look valid. The useful evidence sits around the login: the client environment, the request, the session, and what happens before and after authentication.

How it works against you

What the traffic looks like

  • Credential harvesting, replayed

    Credentials collected through phishing, malware, or a data breach are tested against other login forms where the same password may have been reused.

  • One attempt, one identity

    Automation can rotate addresses and browser profiles between attempts, weakening rules that depend on one repeated identifier.

  • A browser that passes the obvious checks

    A modified browser can remove familiar automation signals, which makes any rule built around one browser property fragile.

How Centinel closes it

What runs against this traffic

  • Browser and session evidence

    In supported login flows, Centinel evaluates the client environment and request alongside the session instead of trusting the form fields alone.

    The application receives evidence about how a valid-looking login was submitted. Centinel does not decide whether the credentials are stolen or whether authentication should succeed.

  • A bounded login policy

    Where the integration supports it, suspicious attempts can be observed, rate-limited, challenged, or blocked according to the route's policy.

    Teams can add friction to risky sessions without applying the same response to every login.
