Biometric authentication is increasingly replacing traditional password-based systems due to its enhanced security and reduced vulnerability to attacks such as phishing, credential reuse, credential stuffing, and breach dumps. Unlike passwords, biometrics are measurable physical properties that do not need to be stored or transmitted, thereby eliminating common security risks associated with passwords. The implementation of liveness detection, which verifies the presence of a live person during authentication, further strengthens biometric systems against spoofing attempts. Didit offers a biometric authentication service with a focus on face recognition, providing secure verification at a cost comparable to or cheaper than SMS-based systems, with the added benefit of stronger security and 500 free checks per month. This method is particularly useful for high-security applications such as fintech re-authentication, digital wallet logins, and high-risk actions in crypto transactions, as it requires physical presence and is less susceptible to interception or unauthorized access.
