“ID verification software maker Mitek has released a passwordless authentication platform with multimodal biometrics. MiPass enables users to access digital accounts by taking a selfie and speaking a phrase with their phone, according to Mitek. The company says use cases include simple account information updates, password resets, device rebinding and high-risk financial transactions. Steve Ritter, Mitek’s chief technology officer, says the multimodal biometric approach improves security compared to facial recognition-only systems.”
