Summary

Fingerprint, originally known as FingerprintJS, has changed its company name to better reflect its evolving product offerings, while maintaining its popular FingerprintJS library for JavaScript browser fingerprinting. The company, founded by Valentin with a focus on accurate identification to prevent online fraud, has expanded its product line to include the "Pro" device identification API for web and mobile applications and new open-source projects like BotD and AEV. Although the company's name has changed, the product names and Github libraries remain the same, ensuring continuity for customers. The name change does not affect service or implementation, requiring no action from customers, though users may need to re-enter passwords for the new domain, fingerprint.com. The company promises many exciting product updates in the future, underlining that the name change is primarily a cosmetic update to better align with customer and employee references to the company as "Fingerprint."
