Authentication Solutions
Solutions overview
Fourthline’s Authentication solutions assess multiple factors to confirm the identity of existing clients (whose identity was previously verified) before they access your services. You can create different levels of authentication or configure step-up authentication flows.
Solutions include:
| Solution | Description |
|---|---|
| Biometric Authentication | Authenticate a client’s identity using biometrics and location. |
| Document Authentication | Authenticate a client’s new identity document. |
Biometric Authentication
What was previously called Client Authentication is now referred to as Biometric Authentication.
Biometric Authentication is supported in both v1 and v2 integrations.
This solution assesses biometric and geolocation data to verify the identity of an existing client — for example, when:
- The client uses a new device.
- The client loses access to an account containing funds.
- A transaction is initiated from a high-risk location or above a specific threshold.

Document Authentication
This solution ensures that existing clients maintain a valid identity document throughout their lifecycle.
The client uploads photos of their new document, and Fourthline verifies that it is visible, valid, authentic, supported, and in good condition — with all security features present.
Fourthline compares the document data to the client’s most recent successful Identity Verification to confirm ownership.
