Frequently asked questions

What biometric authentication methods does Authsignal support?

Authsignal supports face recognition, document + selfie verification, and palm biometrics.

You can integrate facial biometrics via iProov, ID verification with Veriff or IDVerse, and in-person palm vein authentication using the Authsignal IdX Terminal. All methods work through a single orchestration layer with prebuilt configuration.

Can Authsignal trigger biometric verification only when there’s high risk?

Yes, Authsignal enables step up authentication with biometric authentication as an option.

Using the no-code Rules Engine, you can automatically require biometric verification based on signals like device changes, geolocation, IP risk, or behavioral anomalies, minimizing friction for trusted users anywhere in your customer journey.

Where can I find Authsignal biometric API documentation?

You can find all setup guides and developer docs at docs.authsignal.com/authentication-methods/biometrics

The biometric authentication section includes step-by-step instructions for iProov, Veriff, IDVerse, and device SDKs.

What happens if biometric authentication fails? Are there backup methods?

Yes, Authsignal provides intelligent fallback options. If biometric verification fails, users can retry, use alternative biometric methods, or fall back to traditional 2FA. Our Rules Engine automatically determines the best backup flow based on your security requirements.

Does it work with my existing identity provider (IdentityServer, Cognito, etc.)?

Yes, Authsignal integrates with all major identity providers, including AWS Cognito, Azure AD B2C, Keycloak, Duende IdentityServer, Auth0, and NextAuth.js. It also supports any home rolled identity stack.

How do I handle users who can’t use biometric authentication?

Authsignal provides flexible authentication options. Users can choose from multiple biometric methods or fall back to passkeys or traditional 2FA.
