The BioID app is a multifactor user authenticator that provides easy and strong authentication using only the user's mobile device with no extra hardware needed. Biometric authentication such as facial recognition verifies the physical presence of the user, making it a more secure option than traditional passwords. The app provides multifactor user authentication and is a mobile client for BioID Connect, an identity service based on BioID Web Service (BWS) that supports OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0.
Developers and companies can easily add secure, convenient face recognition to their mobile platform without any knowledge of biometrics. End users can use it as a mobile authenticator to log in to any apps and websites that support the app, including the BWS developer portal. The app currently supports liveness detection against photo attacks and challenge-response to prevent video replay attacks.
As an administrator, supporting BioID Connect through industry standard OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 protocols can improve the security of authentication for employees. As a developer, supporting BioID Connect can enhance app or website security with just a few lines of code, while BioID takes care of all the biometrics and the associated user interface. As a user, BioID Connect provides simple and user-friendly stronger security for the growing number of apps and websites that support it.
Overall, the BioID app provides an easy and secure way to add biometric authentication to mobile platforms, making it a more convenient and reliable option than traditional passwords. Developers and companies can easily integrate it into their platforms, while end users can enjoy a more secure and hassle-free authentication process.
