What is OwnID?

OwnID offers a passwordless login alternative for your website that uses biometric authentication to replace the traditional password.

During registration, users can choose to use their phones to authenticate instead of using a password. The user’s phone becomes their login method, protected by the phone unlock mechanism (FaceID, Fingerprint, passcode, etc).

User identification is based on phone-stored cryptographic keys protected with biometrics (no phone number required). If the user accesses the website on a desktop, they register and log in by using their mobile device's camera to scan a QR code.

This authentication flow is web-based and doesn't require the installation of an app.
