authID

authID (formerly Ipsidy) provides a biometric identity verification and passwordless authentication platform, matching faces, verifying government-issued documents, and enabling step-up authentication for account recovery, onboarding, and high-risk transactions. Rather than a general-purpose IAM suite, its focus is the specific moments where an organization needs high-assurance proof that a real, live person is who they claim to be — new account opening, password reset, or a sensitive transaction — rather than day-to-day session authentication.

Originally founded in 2011 and previously operating as Ipsidy, the company uplisted to the Nasdaq Capital Market in August 2021 under the "AUID" ticker and rebranded to authID in the years that followed, positioning itself explicitly against both traditional knowledge-based verification, which is vulnerable to phishing and data breaches, and deepfake-capable injection attacks on biometric systems. As a public company, authID is subject to SEC disclosure requirements, giving outside observers more verifiable financial and operational visibility than most privately held identity vendors.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with a small corporate headcount but a distributed team across multiple continents, authID has historically been a small-cap, still-scaling public company; its Nasdaq listing provides transparency but does not by itself indicate large-scale enterprise deployment, and prospective customers should independently verify current reference customers and deployment scale.
