Trusted and Certified for Compliance Frequently Asked QuestionsFind answers to your most common questions in our FAQ section.What is step-up authentication?Step-up authentication is an added verification layer triggered when user risk increases. It ensures sensitive actions like high-value transactions or new device logins are secured with stronger identity checks.What types of verification are used in step-up authentication?Facia supports adaptive verification methods, including 3D facial liveness, device intelligence, and behavioral risk checks. These methods allow organizations to balance strong security with fast user experiences.What happens if a user fails a step-up authentication challenge?If a user fails Facia’s step-up verification, the attempt is flagged as high-risk and shared with your security system. Your platform decides whether to allow, deny, or escalate the action, while Facia provides the real-time risk signal. Does liveness detection support step-up verification without requiring user actions? Yes. Passive liveness detection can authenticate users with minimal interaction, enabling step-up security without friction, delays, or manual verification steps.Can Facia perform risk-based step-up authentication in real time?Yes. Facia analyzes device risk, behavior anomalies, environment signals, and identity trust to trigger real-time step-up checks. Only high-risk events require verification, ensuring security without slowing legitimate users.
