Incode Authentication lets returning users prove who they are with a quick face match, enabling passwordless, phishing-resistant login and step-up authentication using the identity already verified at onboarding.
The challenge
Passwords and one-time codes are still the default way users prove who they are at login, but they verify a secret or device rather than the person.
Passwords can be phished, reused, or exposed in breaches. SMS codes can be intercepted through SIM swaps, while push prompts can be abused through fatigue attacks.
These methods also add friction. Forgotten passwords and delayed codes slow users down and increase support requests. Yet the user already proved their identity at onboarding, and traditional authentication fails to carry that trust forward.

How it works
Why Incode
The rare use case where the product and security teams want the same thing: a glance-fast login that's phishing-resistant and bound to a verified human.
Security
The biometric is bound to a live, verified person. It can't be phished, SIM-swapped, reused from a breach dump, or fatigue-bombed like a password, SMS code, or push. Deepsight blocks the injected and synthetic faces that defeat naive face-unlock.
Speed
A glance authenticates in under a second: higher conversion and fewer abandoned logins, with no added friction.
Accuracy
A passkey proves possession of a device and a local unlock. Incode proves the person is the same human who was identity-proofed, the assurance that matters for money, value, and regulated access.
Scale
The identity proven at onboarding powers every login across properties, with no repeat verification and a lower cost per authentication. 1:1 and 1:N checks run in one engine and catch one face spun across many accounts. The engine is built on more than 7.1 billion trust checks run on the platform.
Use cases
From everyday sign-in to high-assurance access, the same verified identity carries through.
Replace passwords and one-time codes with a glance for returning users, across web and mobile.
Use a face match as the phishing-resistant factor at login or before a high-value action.
Verify the real person at the moment a passkey is enrolled, and re-prove them at recovery, a new device, or a high-risk action.
Run 1:N checks to catch one face spun across many accounts before it becomes abuse.
Give employees passwordless sign-in, MFA resets, and step-up on the same enrolled identity.

Every login runs on the same core identity stack.
We made privacy a founding conviction long before regulation or the market asked for it. Incode's AI-first identity verification reduces fraud while remaining private and compliant.
Incode stores an encrypted biometric template rather than the raw image, processes on the edge where possible, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. The posture fits BIPA- and GDPR-conscious deployments.
Face authentication ships as an Auth0 post-login Action and a passwordless sign-in with Okta, both live, documented integrations. Session-token separation keeps authorization with you while Incode handles biometric verification.

What customers say
“As a security practitioner, I see Incode's partnership with Okta as a pivotal step in addressing emerging threats like AI-driven fraud. The combination of biometric verification with robust IAM capabilities ensures a higher standard of security for enterprises navigating today's complex risk landscape.”

Passwords and one-time codes verify a secret or a device. Incode verifies the person. A quick face match, bound to the identity proven at onboarding, can't be phished, SIM-swapped, or reused from a breach the way a password, an OTP (one-time password), or an MFA (multi-factor authentication) push can.
Passkeys prove possession of a device and a local unlock; they don't prove who the person is. Incode adds the identity assurance. Incode verifies the real person at the moment a passkey is enrolled, so the passkey is bound to a proofed human, and re-proves them at the moments a passkey can't cover: account recovery, a new device, or a high-risk action. Passkeys and Incode are complementary.
No. Every authentication runs passive liveness plus Deepsight deepfake and injection detection (iBeta Level 3, independent Purdue benchmark), rejecting printed photos, screen replays, injected camera feeds, and real-time face swaps.
Incode stores an encrypted biometric template rather than the raw image, processes on-device where possible, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. The posture fits BIPA- and GDPR-conscious deployments, and consent and retention are configurable to your requirements.
No. Incode layers on top of your existing CIAM or identity provider. You keep your user accounts, credentials, and sessions. Incode proves the human and returns a verified result.
Pre-built CIAM and IAM connectors (Auth0, Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping), OIDC, a REST API, and web and mobile SDKs. Your stack validates verification results server-side before granting access.
No. Face authentication is browser-based and device-agnostic. A selfie from any modern device authenticates in under a second, with no app or hardware key to install.
Incode delivers near-deterministic 1:1 face matching with iBeta-certified liveness, tuned to the risk thresholds you set. Current benchmark figures are available from your Incode team.
Configurable fallback paths (a re-proof with an ID and selfie, or an alternate factor) keep legitimate users from being locked out. Accessibility options support inclusive coverage.
