(Nasdaq: AUID), a leading provider of secure biometric identity verification and authentication solutions, and Verified Inc., a pioneering digital identity network that powers 1-Click onboarding experiences, today announced a partnership to launch 1-Click identity verification. Through the convergence of authID's patented biometric identity platform and Verified Inc.'s identity wallet, the companies jointly provide instant, secure, and automated customer onboarding with the highest identity assurance.

The abundance of stolen personal data and the acceleration of AI-driven phishing attacks and account takeovers are driving increasing demand for highly certain identity verification and life-cycle multi-factor authentication.

Needing a trusted technology partner to deliver strong identity verification coupled with a seamless user authentication experience, Verified Inc. partnered with authID for its market-leading speed, accuracy and precision.

"authID's state-of-the art identity platform proved to be an ideal solution to service our enterprise customers and their consumers, preventing fraudulent account openings and phishing-related account takeovers, while delivering the convenience and frictionless experiences today's digital savvy consumers expect," said Aidan McCarty, CEO and Co-Founder of Verified Inc.
