Recover user's accounts without relying on OTPs and email links

  • The challenge

Relying on OTPs & email links to recover accounts?

Traditional recovery methods leave user accounts exposed to phishing, SIM swaps, and takeovers. Every recovery request is a security risk.

Identity is no longer tied to paper or plastic. With global standards like mDL, eIDAS 2.0 and digital wallets, trust now moves at internet speed.

Identity verification enters a new era
— instant, trusted, reliable.

Tightening regulatory mandates

Platforms must block minors from accessing restricted content. Upcoming eIDAS 2.0 deadlines make age verification a priority.

Personal data is a liability

Most age verification methods require collecting and storing personal data. This creates legal and reputational exposure.

Local integration is complex

Verifying age globally requires navigating different national eID schemes. Each market has separate registration requirements.
