A growing number of our readership is accessing our content using mobile devices. In order to ensure we enable this trend, and indeed support premium readers, we are deploying a solution that will make logins fast, easy and secure.
Meet iProov! iProov won the KPMG 2016 FinTech Innovators Award for Cyber Security and Biometrics.
First, download the iProov Verifier app from the Apple Store or Google Play.
- At the top left of the login process on our site you will see the word iProov. Registered premium access readers that want to access content using a tablet, smartphone or camera-equipped laptop, please click on “Enrol with iProov”.
- You then enter your email, and click the iProov button. This will take you through a short process by which iProov will check two things: validate your subscription using your email and then take a picture of your face. After some magic, using lots of colors, the system will register your face as a known user.
Then, going forward, when you access the site from your mobile device, click the iProov link and it will take a picture of you and verify it’s you – and BOOM – you’re logged in.
One click and you’re done.
Nobody else can use your device and access your account. Not even using a picture of your face. So, there a cyber security aspect to this process too.
