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

What Does The Authenticate User Experience Look Like?
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

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
