Support for face authentication​

We have extended our Authenticator App to support face authentication, our new authentication method based on server-side biometrics.

Want to learn more?

To learn more, see our Face authentication feature documentation.

1. Configure face authentication​

To configure our server-side face authentication feature, you need to enable it as an allowed authentication method:

  1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Products > Application behaviour, then select the Authentication tab.
  2. Use the check boxes to enable server-side face as an authentication method, then click Save.

2. Update app and enrol face​

Next, the end-user must:

  1. Update the Authenticator App to version 5.0.
  2. Enable face authentication in the Authenticator App settings, then enrol their face securely.

3. Use face authentication​

Once enabled, face authentication can be used for authentications. To do this:

  1. Initiate an authentication request by setting DEVICE_SERVER_SIDE_FACE as the authMethod.
    Try it out

    You can also Try it out in the Signicat Dashboard. To do this, tick the Use face authentication box when initiating an authentication.

  2. When prompted, the end-user performs a facial scan to authenticate securely.
