Verified by AuthID is a biometric authentication platform designed for passwordless security and identity assertion. The system operates on a cloud-based architecture, capturing a user's self-image and verifying it against a pre-registered biometric hash. This hardware-independent root of trust allows a user to enroll on one device and authenticate on another, aiming to prevent account takeovers, phishing, and fraud. For privacy, the platform can store only a biometric hash or utilize a PKI structure where the private key is recreated and destroyed with each authentication request.
The solution integrates into enterprise and consumer applications through hosted APIs, a Web SDK, and pre-built plugins for identity providers. It supports delegated authentication over OIDC, provides SAML interfaces for Active Directory integration, and incorporates FIDO2 standards for user provisioning and account recovery. Key technical use cases include facial biometric authentication for standard logins, self-service password resets, step-up authentication, and secure transaction execution.
