Technology has already come a long way ever since the digital age began. The constant developments in the technology industry are enough proof that advancement will not stop anytime soon. 

These days, smartphones can do just about everything, from shopping to bill payment, instant messaging to banking, and all other things. While some still prefer the traditional way of fulfilling their tasks, many have embraced these technological advancements and used them as leverage to make their lives much more manageable. 

One of the prime examples of this digital evolution is biometric ID authentication.  Although the earliest accounts of biometrics can be dated back to 500 BC in the Babylonian empire, the first-ever record of this identification system was only during the 1800s, and it was not that popular until the 2000s. 

Since it became popular, many companies have started combining biometric technology with other authentication methods for their multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA provides more security to companies and consumers than singular identity verification protocols. And security is just among the benefits of multi-factor authentication. 

While these changes have undeniably helped address cyber security, criminals are still continuously finding ways to perform illicit activities. Because of this, tech developers like authID never cease to improve security systems. Thus, efforts such as Verified have been introduced.

Get to Know Verified

Verified is authID’s cloud-based facial biometric authentication and anti-spoofing liveness app that confirms the identity of the true account owner with a quick selfie. Through this technology, one can ditch using vulnerable security measures such as one-time passwords and challenge questions. This application enables frictionless, multi-factor authentication that meets the demands of companies and their employees, users, and customers. 

While this technology has helped determine the identity of users, a portion of these people may not be willing to or may not be able to utilize the selfie functionality. That said, authID released a new enhancement to the biometric authentication of Verified – Dynamic Enrollment. 

What is Dynamic Enrollment?

Dynamic Enrollment is an added feature in authID’s Verified. This new functional feature provides an option for users to choose an identity verification they prefer at the time of their enrollment to applications. They can either secure transactions with their own biometrics or receive one-time passcodes (OTPs) via SMS. Existing consumers can also empower their users to choose between active cameras during in-line authentication without changing their browser settings. 

This feature was developed in order to give customers a scalable, iterative way to roll out biometric authentication across their user bases. Furthermore, Dynamic Enrollment also provides aid in enterprise change management and technology adoption.

Dynamic Enrollment is a promising feature that can help in ensuring a more secured digital experience.  For more detailed explanation of this new feature, you can continue reading this article by authID.
