In their own words
authID
authID provides biometric identity verification and authentication for organizations protecting accounts and digital assets. Its Proof service checks a physical ID, captures a selfie, checks liveness, and compares the selfie with the document image during onboarding. The maker says Proof does not require biometric information to be stored. For returning users, Verified uses a facial image and a previously registered biometric hash to authenticate without a password. Listed uses include remote onboarding, account recovery, password resets, high-risk transactions, and account takeover prevention. The verification page states a 700 millisecond processing time and a false match rate of one in one billion. authID lists iBeta PAD Level 2 certification for Proof and Verified, and NIST AAL2 authentication for Verified. Integrations include Auth0, Okta Workforce Identity Cloud, Microsoft O365 and Azure, BeyondTrust, Temenos, Ping, VMware, and Zendesk. Platforms include web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with API access and self-hosted availability also listed. Pricing is on request; a free 30-day trial is available.
