KBA Identity Verification
Discover how Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) redefines secure identity verification. Learn about Authenticate's innovative Identity Proof Quiz and its unparalleled blend of security and user experience.

Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) introduces a groundbreaking approach, transforming traditional methods into a secure and interactive experience. Unlike static passwords or OTPs that can be intercepted or guessed, KBA relies on dynamic, personalized questions derived from users' historical and public records.
Imagine being asked to confirm details like your previous residential address or a lesser-known family member’s name. These personalized questions create a robust verification layer, ensuring that only the rightful user can pass the quiz. This innovative method stands as a near-impenetrable shield against fraud, making it a game-changer in identity management.
What is KBA?
Data-Driven Personalization
Authenticate’s Identity Proof Quiz leverages a user’s legal name, date of birth, and Social Security Number (SSN) to curate highly personalized quiz questions. By accessing a wealth of historical and publicly available data, the system crafts unique queries that only the legitimate user can answer.
For instance, a quiz might ask:
- "Which of the following addresses did you previously reside at?"
- "Who among these individuals is a relative of yours?"
This meticulous approach reduces impersonation risks, ensuring unmatched accuracy and security.

Security doesn’t have to compromise user experience. Authenticate’s KBA quizzes follow an intuitive, multiple-choice format, making them accessible and user-friendly.
