Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Internet connection to use Authenticate?
You will need to have access to the cloud, either via WiFi or your cellular service in order to use Authenticate’s biometric authentication.
Why can't I register after downloading Authenticate?
In order for Authenticate to work on your device, you will first need to be registered with a company that has integrated Authenticate’s biometric verification app into its security process. The company will then notify its customers how to proceed with the registration and enrollment process.
Why do I get an error when doing face verification?
In order for the facial mapping to work it needs to get a clear picture of your face. It will not work if you are wearing glasses, or in a dimly lit area. Try finding a well lit location with minimal background distractions (such as a blank wall), remove your glasses and try again.
Do I need to check messages inside Authenticate to see my alerts?
Unless you have disabled notifications, Authenticate will alert you when a identity request is made. Clicking on the alert will launch Authenticate and allow you to Verify or Cancel the request. If you have notifications disabled, or have received multiple notifications, you can select Check Messages from inside the App to see any active messages.
