Mitek unveils biometric ID tech

No one likes passwords. An average person has more than 100 passwords to manage, often making it difficult and frustrating to complete even the simplest online transactions.


Enter MiPass from Mitek, a passwordless identity authentication solution that allows a person to access digital accounts effortlessly and securely using two features that are uniquely theirs: voice and face.• How: To access a digital account using MiPass, a person simply uses a smartphone to take a quick selfie and then record a phrase.• Why: Combining the two is a significant security improvement beyond the face recognition-only systems many use today. Authenticating digital identities with MiPass reduces the risks associated with on-device stored biometrics, which can be easily compromised, shared between people or overwritten with a simple passcode.


“MiPass provides the highest level of digital security available today,” said Mitek CTO Steve Ritter. “MiPass combines voice and face recognition using sophisticated liveness detection technology to defend against digital and deepfake attacks in real time.”


Hassle-free and secure account access helps both companies and their customers


Experts estimate that more than 80% of hacking breaches involve the use of stolen passwords or credentials, fraud that can cost a large company as much as $1 million a year. By moving to a more secure, passwordless approach to digital account authentication, companies can both increase customer loyalty and reduce their own risk from identity theft and account takeover attacks.


Because MiPass algorithms have been developed and tested against balanced and representative data sets, to avoid bias, MiPass can accurately authenticate customers regardless of race, ethnicity, age or gender.
