Authentication is not identification or identity verification: sometimes, you might want to know that the end user you’re onboarding is exactly who they claim to be. You don’t actually need to scan their drivers license or passport - and, in fact, in the world of deepfakes powered by AI those solutions are becoming less and less reliable. We are huge fans of what Stytch is doing to step-change the developer experience around authentication, identity, and access management. If you’re not familiar, Stytch offers all sorts of options that make it easy for you to do auth the way you need to for your business, including direct API integration, frontend or backend SDKs, and out-of-the box components.

This post assumes you’ve already created an IDPartner account and set up a sandbox application. Now, we'll show you how to use the jwt to create a new user and how to change the scopes you use to do that.

IDPartner offers Bank-Based ID verifications for your users. This post will explain why you’d want to use it and shows you the fast track to try it out.

IDPartner has successfully completed their SOC2 Type II Audit.

IDPartner welcomes Seth Schachner of Strat Americas to our advisory board.

One person asked me a single question that changed the course of my life. They led me on a quest that hundreds, perhaps even thousands of other people are obsessed with. It’s a quest that has led to New York, Washington D.C., London, Madrid, San Francisco, and now with my co-founders, around the world. We want to fix the biggest unsolved problem on the Internet: Identity.

In a world where artificial intelligence is making it possible to create high-quality content capable of impersonating almost any entity and person, it has become increasingly important to develop an ecosystem of identity solutions that can help people #1 Interact only with reputable businesses and people (or if they so choose, reputable bots), #2 Stay in control of their data and #3 Protect their privacy. If these solutions are well implemented, they will allow us to create additional value on top of them, for example, adding payments, or even supporting AI-powered agents. IDPartner is developing a global marketplace for user-controlled digital identity that helps solve these issues, while providing enough flexibility to enable important value-added services to be built on top of it.

IDPartner is delighted to announce that we have successfully completed our Type 1 SOC2 Examination by Schellman and with the support of our partners at Carbide Secure.
