About authenteq

Authenteq is a digital identity and authentication platform that allows anyone to verify their identity instantly and then use their digital biometric passport on any website to prove that they are who they say they are. The Authenteq ID is user owned and controlled with all personal information kept on the blockchain.

The initial signup process takes under 90 seconds and is 100% automated. After initial signup it takes the user under 3 seconds to connect the Authenteq ID to any additional online profile, account or online identity a user has, without using a password.

Backed by world-renowned visionary investors, Authenteq has received numerous awards and honours. Among them we were selected as a 'Disrupting Mobile'​ finalist at 4YFN during the World Mobile Congress at Barcelona in 2016, semi-finalist at the SLUSH 100 pitching competition, chosen as a leading innovative startup in Identity Management by CTIA, won the Deloitte Rising Stars competition in Iceland, voted as 11th most exciting Startup at Slush by Co-founder Magazine, as well as being a Startupbootcamp alumni.
