Auth0 and Incode boost authentication security with biometric identity verification. Secure your authentication pipeline. Learn how the new Auth0 and Incode integration uses biometric identity verification to halt account takeovers. TL;DR: Auth0 and Incode have launched new integrations to combat fraud with biometric verification. Incode ID Verification validates new users against government IDs, while Incode Face Auth Reset prevents account takeovers by requiring biometric scans before password changes. These tools enable high-assurance identity verification for regulated industries, boosting security without creating user friction. Building a resilient identity strategy means continuously adapting to sophisticated digital fraud. Organizations are looking for seamless ways to bring real-world, legal identity verification directly into their access management workflows. Elevating security at critical milestones allows businesses to establish an ironclad chain of trust from day one. While passwords and email-based reset links successfully verify credentials, high-assurance environments require an extra layer to definitively prove identity. The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report confirms that stolen credentials are the primary entry point for breaches, playing a role in 88% of all basic web application attacks. Every day, attackers buy stolen credentials on breach forums. Inboxes get compromised. And the password reset flow - the very mechanism meant to protect users - has become one of the most common ways for attackers to take over accounts. An email reset link in the wrong hands is all it takes. For teams in financial services, healthcare, legal, HR, and government, this gap is not just a security risk. It is a compliance one. Regulators, auditors, and customers all expect you to know that the person behind an account is genuinely who they claim to be. Meeting these strict standards requires tying digital access directly to a verified legal identity. So Auth0 asked a simpler question: What if your login flow could verify a real, legal identity, and confirm it again at the moments that matter most? That is what Auth0 and Incode are launching. Prove identity once. Re-Verify it at the moments that matter. Two new Incode integrations are now live on the Auth0 Marketplace. Together, they create a continuous chain of trust, proving identity when a new user logs in for the first time, then re-confirming it before sensitive actions like a password reset. What is Incode ID Verification? The Incode ID Verification adds Incode's full biometric identity verification flow directly to your Auth0 login experience. When a new user logs in for the first time, they are automatically redirected to Incode to complete verification: capturing their government-issued ID and a live selfie. Incode validates the document, checks for liveness, and confirms the face matches the ID. Once verified, that identity is securely stored in the user's Auth0 profile. On subsequent sign-ins, returning users simply authenticate with a quick face scan. And you stay in control: configure how often users must re-verify (daily, monthly, yearly, or never), and optionally block login entirely if verification fails. What is Incode Face Auth Reset? The Incode Face Auth Reset helps secures one of the most exploited paths to account takeover. Before any password change is allowed, users get redirected to Incode to complete a live face scan. That face is matched 1:1 against the legal identity enrolled during their first login, confirming the person requesting the reset is the same verified individual who created the account. An attacker with stolen credentials and email access cannot pass this check. If the faces match, the reset proceeds. If not, it is blocked. Common use cases include: * Identity proofing at onboarding: For example, financial services and fintech companies verifying customer identity at account creation to meet regulatory requirements. * High-assurance login: Organizations requiring step-up verification for access to sensitive data, transactions, or privileged actions. * More secure password reset: Preventing account takeover via compromised email-based reset flows by requiring biometric verification before any credential change. What Incode ID Verification and Incode Face Auth Reset means for your team? You know who is really behind the account. By anchoring access management to a government-issued ID and a live biometric check, organizations gain confidence that the physical person logging in is the true account owner. Security does not come at the cost of experience. After initial verification, returning users authenticate with a quick face scan. No documents to re-scan, no OTP codes, no friction. You can deploy it in minutes, not months. Both integrations are available as Auth0 Marketplace. No custom development required. See Incode ID Verification and Incode Face Auth Reset in action. Here is a full end-to-end video walkthrough of both integrations: Get started. Both integrations are live now on the Auth0 Marketplace. Have questions?

SpankBang introduces secure age verification with Yoti, Incode, and Verify My Age. Mar 20, 2026 SpankBang has partnered with leading age verification providers Yoti, Incode, and Verify My Age (VMA) to deliver a secure, privacy-first verification experience. This initiative ensures that access to adult content remains restricted to verified adults in regions where age verification is legally required. As global regulations evolve, SpankBang is proactively building a compliant, user-friendly system that balances legal requirements, user privacy, and seamless access. Why age verification matters. Governments across the world are introducing stricter rules to prevent minors from accessing adult content. Regulations such as the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the UK Online Safety Act are setting new standards for online platforms. SpankBang supports these efforts and has implemented a flexible verification system that: * Adapts to regional legal requirements * Offers multiple verification methods * Prioritizes user privacy and data protection Key regulations driving these changes. * EU Digital Services Act (DSA) - Requires platforms to take effective measures to protect minors * UK Online Safety Act - Mandates robust age verification for adult content platforms * US State Laws - States like Florida and Ohio require strict verification standards * Country-Specific Rules - France and Italy enforce enhanced privacy measures, including double anonymity Trusted age verification partners. Yoti - fast & privacy-focused verification. Yoti is a globally recognized digital identity provider trusted by governments and businesses. Key features: * Facial Age Estimation (no ID required) * Document verification with government-issued IDs * Digital identity credential support * Real-time processing with no image storage Certifications: SOC2, B-Corp, ISO 27701, ISO 9001 Yoti powers verification across most supported regions and is often the fastest option for users. Incode - advanced AI identity verification. Incode provides enterprise-grade identity verification technology used by financial institutions and governments. Capabilities include: * ID document authenticity checks * Selfie and liveness detection * Fraud prevention and behavioral analysis * Secure, token-based sessions (auto-expire after 24 hours) Incode is deployed in select regions requiring enhanced verification. Verify My Age (VMA) - flexible oauth-based verification. Verify My Age supports additional use cases and regions with: * OAuth-based verification flows * Business-mode integrations * Alternative verification pathways How the age verification process works. 1. Region detection. The system automatically detects your location and determines whether age verification is required. * Restricted regions: Verification required * Non-restricted regions: Simple age confirmation only 2. Choose your verification method. Depending on your region, you may choose: * Selfie-based age estimation (fastest option) * Government-issued ID scan * Digital identity verification 3. Secure verification. You are redirected to a trusted provider (Yoti, Incode, or VMA). The process typically takes under 60 seconds. 4. Access granted. Once verified, you gain full access to the platform. Your verification status is remembered for future visits. How long does verification last? Verification duration depends on your region and the type of verification required. * In some regions, verification remains valid for an extended period to minimize repeated checks * In others, stricter regulations may require more frequent re-verification * Logged-in users may benefit from longer-lasting verification, while guest access may be subject to shorter validity periods Built with privacy at its core. * No storage of personal data - SpankBang never receives your ID or biometric data * Third-party processing - All verification happens securely via partners * No link between identity and activity - Your identity is not connected to browsing behavior * Double anonymity (France & Italy) - additional privacy protection layers * Encrypted sessions - AES-encrypted cookies prevent tampering * GDPR compliant - Full adherence to EU data protection laws What happens If verification fails? If a verification attempt is inconclusive (for example, the system cannot confidently determine your age), you will be offered an alternative method such as document-based verification. The system also supports retry flows to help you complete the process successfully. Frequently asked questions. Is age verification mandatory? Only in regions where required by law (EU, UK, and certain US states). Users outside these regions will only see a basic age confirmation. Does SpankBang store my photo or ID? No. All identity processing is handled by Yoti, Incode, or Verify My Age. SpankBang only receives the verification result - never your documents or biometric data. Can I browse without verifying? In restricted regions, unverified visitors can only access safe-for-work content. Will I need to verify every time? No. Verification is remembered for a period of time based on regional requirements and verification type. Logged-in users may benefit from longer-lasting verification where supported. What age threshold is used? This varies by region. The system applies the legally required threshold - typically 18, with some regions requiring higher thresholds. Which verification method is fastest? Facial age estimation (via Yoti) is the quickest option and usually takes just a few seconds without requiring documents. A safer, smarter future for adult platforms. SpankBang is committed to creating a safer digital environment while maintaining a seamless user experience. By combining regulatory compliance, advanced technology, and strong privacy protections, this system sets a higher standard for the industry.
