Frictionless Authentication That Builds Trust in Seconds

Authenticate instantly links a mobile device to its phone number using real-time mobile network signals: no more OTP codes to phish or disposable numbers to use. It’s faster and simpler than OTP, boosting conversions and cutting friction. Layer in optional SIM-Swap checks, phone number intelligence, and device signals to power up your smarter, safer customer authentication and verification suite

What Does The Authenticate User Experience Look Like?

Step 1

A customer opens your app or website and enters their mobile number

Step 2

Their device connects silently to the mobile network for verification

Step 3

We confirm SIM possession and network trust

How does Authenticate work?

Authenticate uses mobile operator data to confirm the device you're interacting with is tied to the correct SIM and mobile number. This network-level authentication happens silently in the background, without user input or delays

First, we identify the current mobile operator of the phone number. Then, working in real time, we connect to the mobile operator to confirm that the phone number matches the one registered on the user account. Optional SIM-Swap checks can then flag whether the phone number has had a recent SIM change. Everything happens in seconds, so your app flow remains smooth

Five benefits of using Authenticate

Frictionless User Experience

No more OTP codes, no more waiting. Authenticate verifies phone number possession silently in the background, reducing drop-offs and boosting conversions

Game-changing Security

Built on direct mobile network authentication, not SMS. Thus, no codes to intercept and no phishing vectors. Optionally, add SIM-Swap protection for an even greater peace of mind

Proof of Possession

Unlike SMS OTP, Authenticate confirms your customers are truly in possession of the SIM and phone number, reducing promotion abuses and duplicate accounts

Intelligence-ready

Pair Authenticate with number intelligence to rapidly assess trust levels of phone numbers. Use our device intelligence SDK for an even richer set of insights into your customers to help you better understand risks and combat bot activity and fraud

Authenticate FAQ

Authenticate confirms that the mobile device connecting to your service matches the expected mobile number, using silent, encrypted data from the SIM and mobile network. This verifies that the right SIM is present in the right device without user input. It’s fast, invisible to the end user, and cannot be faked or copied

Not directly. Authenticate verifies the device and SIM, not the physical user. It assumes that identity confirmation (like biometrics) happens on the phone itself. This approach is ideal for secure, seamless logins or transaction approvals, especially when combined with other in-app controls

Yes. The latest version of Authenticate can include real-time SIM-Swap detection, helping you flag accounts at risk before allowing access. This adds an important layer of protection, especially in cases where fraudsters socially engineer their way into taking control of a number

No. The network data Authenticate uses is not publicly available or reproducible. Even if a fraudster attempts to clone a device, without the correct SIM and network context, authentication will fail. Each authentication is verified in real time with the mobile operator and TMT ID
