How it works

Explore verification methods

Phone number verification (2FA)

Verify the ownership of a phone number by sending a one-time code via call or text. This ensures the number is active, reachable, and truly belongs to the person attempting to authenticate.

Phone ownership check

Confirm a user's legal name and associated phone number by cross-referencing global carrier databases. This adds an extra layer of trust by validating telecom-verified identity information.

Email verification (2FA)

Authenticate the ownership of an email address by delivering a one-time code or secure link. This confirms that the user controls the inbox and can receive sensitive communications.

Risk assessment

Evaluate the trustworthiness of a phone number or email by analyzing activity patterns, abuse signals, and reputation insights to identify risky identities before they enter your system.

Prevent fraud with additional risk signals

Two-factor authentication

Strengthen account security by sending a one-time verification code to the user's phone number or email, ensuring only the rightful owner can proceed.

Account takeover prevention

Block unauthorized access attempts by layering multiple security checks, helping prevent attackers from gaining control of user accounts.

Risk assessment

Evaluate the trustworthiness of a phone number or email by analyzing reputation, unusual patterns, and known risk indicators during onboarding.
