Trends in verification: What marked 2024
Biometric verification as standard
During 2024, biometrics (facial recognition and fingerprints) consolidated its position as a key solution in the security of authentication processes. This technology provides an ideal balance between ease and protection, and is expected to continue to grow in 2025.
Passwordless authentication
Passwordless solutions, combining biometrics and temporary codes (OTP). They were a major breakthrough this year, improving both security and user experience. This approach will expand rapidly in 2025.
Automation in verification
Automated AI-based digital verification tools that allow documents and data to be validated in real time gained popularity in 2024. This type of solution will become even more common by 2025, helping companies to speed up processes and reduce errors.
Multichannel verification
With the demand for flexible options, companies adopted multichannel verification. Giving users multiple ways to authenticate their identity according to their preferences. This approach is set to grow in the coming years.
