Retail identity solutions
Passwordless authentication for deskless workers
Eliminate password fatigue on shared POS systems and frontline workstations and verify your customers in seconds at high-risk service counters.
What’s broken today
Passwords and manual checks create too much friction
Fraud at high‑risk counters
Manual checks at rental counters and service desks make it easy for fraudsters with fake or synthetic IDs to walk out with high‑value goods.
Shared passwords and weak access controls
Store and fulfillment teams still share logins on shared terminals, leaving no clear record of who did what or when.
Impersonation at help desks and on the phone
Support staff reset passwords and place orders for callers they can’t truly verify, creating an easy path for takeover.
No lasting memory of bad actors
Fraudsters return with new IDs, addresses, or devices, and disconnected systems make it hard to connect the dots across visits and channels.
