Biometric Authentication: Face the future of access.

Passwords and PINs are relics of the past. With IDnow Biometric Authentication, verifying your users is as simple as a glance – delivering frictionless, privacy-first access that’s as secure as it is seamless. Whether for authentication, account recovery, or authorizing signed transactions, our zero-knowledge biometrics ensure only the genuine user can access your services.

Authentication, reimagined for the digital age.

It’s time to make security invisible, intuitive, and ironclad. IDnow’s biometric authentication is purpose-built for today’s digital ecosystems – uniting state-of-the-art face matching, liveness detection, and device binding in one seamless flow.

Our zero-knowledge approach means biometric data is never stored, shared, or exposed – eliminating risk and ensuring true privacy by design.


How we authenticate using biometrics:

Here’s how we keep every interaction protected by combining cutting-edge biometrics, cryptography, and device intelligence.

Instead of storing biometric data, our technology generates a unique signing key directly from each user’s live biometric. Only the genuine user – on their trusted device – can authenticate, sign, or recover access.
IDnow authenticates both the user and their device in a single, transparent step. This satisfies even the strictest PSD2/SCA requirements for transaction signing – delivering frictionless multi-factor security everytime.
Our advanced cryptography and AI deliver authentication in under 400ms—even on smartphones with limited memory or processing power. Whether for step-up authentication, account recovery or digital signing, a single glance is all it takes.
IDnow bridges the gap between identity verification and ongoing authentication. Users can re-establish trust for forgotten credentials or lost devices – no need for a full IDV process, just proof of presence with a quick selfie.
