Recognition

When a returning user attempts to sign in, the Wink Identity Web SDK automatically performs facial recognition to authenticate the user.

Once a valid image is captured and liveness verified, the system compares the biometric data against stored facial embeddings linked to existing WinkIDs.

If the match confidence meets or exceeds the configured security threshold, authentication is completed instantly. The user is securely redirected back to the host application with the corresponding session tokens and identity data.

This entire process occurs in a single, seamless step. The authentication is both instant and adaptive, adjusting its behavior based on device trust level, match confidence, and any optional 2FA configurations set by the client.
