Identity Proofing

Enable user self-verification, through document-based and/or knowledge-based proofs, to improve identity confidence and approve access for authorized individuals.

The Challenge

  • For external end-users visiting your site, confidently identify them
  • For internal users and employees, differentiate access levels without risking sensitive data
  • Provide authentication that’s not unduly cumbersome for abandonment-prone end-users

The Solution

With Okta’s ID-proofing integrations, users can verify their identity with the customer’s chosen method, informing downstream access and information systems and potentially triggering access approvals. Identity verification can include document-based proofs like drivers’ licenses, or knowledge-based proofs like invitations to “name the first street you lived on”; optionally, mobile users can be required to photograph themselves to furnish further proof of identity.

Help consumers and other end-users accessing your systems to verify their identity, using the knowledge and documentation they already possess, so you can confidently grant the access they need to make your enterprise run efficiently.
