Jumio Use Case

Going Passwordless

Verify your users with authentication that’s simple as a selfie and more secure than a password.

Protect User Accounts with Biometric-Based Authentication

Passwords are too easy to guess and too easy to crack. Thanks to large-scale data breaches, the dark web and credential stuffing, hackers can invade your user’s account in a matter of minutes. Once they have taken over one account, the hacker can now raid many of your user’s other online accounts (e.g., bank, e-commerce and email accounts) because consumers often reuse the same password across multiple accounts.

How Jumio Helps

Growing Familiarity & Comfort

Thanks to Apple FaceID and Samsung facial recognition, consumers are increasingly comfortable with using biometric authentication, specifically their faces, to unlock their phones. And this familiarity is helping businesses make the switch to passwordless authentication.

Liveness Detection

Given the growing sophistication of spoofing attacks, it is essential to distinguish between a genuine live face and an attempt to spoof the system with an artificial representation of a face. Automated detection of presentation attacks, and specifically liveness detection, has become a necessary component of any authentication system that is based on face biometric technology.

Account Takeover Protection

If your user accounts are only protected by a username and password, you're vulnerable to account takeover. With biometric authentication, the user can only log into their account or perform a high risk transaction (e.g., a wire transfer or password reset) by using a biometric template (a digital representation of their face).
