Overview
1Kosmos combines passwordless authentication with identity verification on its BlockID platform, using a distributed, privacy-focused architecture to bind verified identity to login.
Capability deep-dive
Pairing strong passwordless with document and biometric verification at enrollment is the differentiator, giving higher assurance than auth alone. The decentralized approach is distinctive but adds conceptual overhead, and it is an authentication-and-verification specialist rather than a full IAM platform.
Pricing
Subscription, quote-based.
Bottom line
A strong fit when you need verified identity and passwordless together, not just a second factor.
