Frequently asked questions
- Microsoft Entra Verified ID is a managed verifiable credential service that enables organizations to build unique user-owned identity scenarios designed for trustworthy, secure, and efficient interactions between people and organizations.
- Yes, Verified ID is based on open standards, which are guidelines made available to the public that facilitate interoperability among different decentralized identity products. Microsoft collaborates with the wider identity community to create these open standards and incorporates them into Verified ID to ensure that it works universally. Learn more about open standards in Verified ID documentation.
- Face Check is a privacy-respecting facial-matching feature that uses Azure AI services to provide high-assurance identity verification at scale. It is a premium feature within Microsoft Entra Verified ID.
- Face Check compares a person’s real-time selfie with the picture associated with their account, which is usually from a trusted identity document, such as a driver’s license or employee ID. Face Check’s advanced algorithms will compare the two images to verify that both faces match, without storing the information or passing it to the verifier. This cloud-based, encrypted system protects the data, only revealing a percent confidence score that the faces match.
- Both Face Check and the face-scanning security feature you may use to unlock your device require a user to face a camera, but they operate in different ways. Face Check compares the liveness data (selfie) with a photo on your Verified ID, usually from a trusted identity document such as a driver’s license or employee ID. This mechanism provides a crucial layer of trust, especially in high-assurance scenarios, such as accessing high-value business processes or sensitive company information. The face-scanning feature on your device may compare your live face to a representation of your face stored on the device.
