Onfido announced it has been selected by Microsoft to enable fast and secure identity verification and onboarding for its Azure Active Directory verifiable credentials.

Once a person's real identity is bound to their digital identity using Onfido's document plus selfie verification, end-users are onboarded to Azure AD and have complete control over their identity from their smartphone, being able to provision its reuse to access additional services.

Verified access to apps: Users can store and present a verified credential when attempting to access resources that require identity verification based on company policy.

"Being able to verify a person's identity once at onboarding, and then reuse those credentials to access many different services from different providers without collecting and storing personal data is a game-changer."

"Our vision is to provide the platform for a digital identity in which individuals have more control over what information they share and can restrict access if needed," said Sue Bohn, Partner Director Program Management, Identity Division at Microsoft Corp. "Collaborating with Onfido empowers businesses to verify information at scale while ensuring users have greater control over their personal information."

"Decentralized identity is making a debut in 2021 and will disrupt traditional methods of access for many providers, as it will be used for 25% of all bring your own identity logins by 2023.".
