It allows devices like computers, laptops, mobile, or others to share its network with other networking devices.</p>\n<p>These days, internet connectivity occurs via wireless routers. Therefore, when you access Wi-Fi, you will be connecting to a wireless router which allows your Wi-Fi-compatible devices to interface or link with the internet.</p>\n<p>Wi-Fi is not an acronym. Instead, the brand name is designed by a marketing firm meant to serve as a middleware seal for commercializing efforts.</p>\n<h2 id=\"how-wi-fi-works\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-wi-fi-works\" aria-label=\"how wi fi works permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How Wi-Fi Works</h2>\n<p>Wi-Fi uses radio waves to impart information between your device and a router via frequencies. Two radio-wave frequencies are utilized depending on the amount of data being sent.</p>\n<p>The two Wi-Fi frequencies are separated into multiple channels to prevent high traffic and interference. When you access the network on your device, the information you provided is converted into binary code, which is the language of the computers.</p>\n<p>Next, the Wi-Fi router connected to the device receives frequencies that travel across the radio station. Finally, the router receives the data through a hardwired internet cable.</p>\n<p>Some changes and routines can be implemented that protect you from intruders, snoopers, and internet carpetbaggers. You should always make a control if anyone gets on your network.</p>\n<p>The next problem is the signal footprint. If anyone can pick up a signal from your router, they can also grasp data and gather all the passwords.</p>\n<p>Following are the ten tips to ensure your Wi-Fi is private and blocking hackers.</p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-ensure-your-wi-fi-is-blocking-hackers\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-to-ensure-your-wi-fi-is-blocking-hackers\" aria-label=\"how to ensure your wi fi is blocking hackers permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How to Ensure Your Wi-Fi is Blocking Hackers</h2>\n<h3 id=\"1-change-username-and-password-frequently\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#1-change-username-and-password-frequently\" aria-label=\"1 change username and password frequently permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>1. Change username and password frequently.</h3>\n<p>Passwords play an important role in maintaining security. Regularly, you can change the username and password because there is no rule regarding how often you change the router password.</p>\n<p>You can also access your router’s configuration page via a web browser connected to your network.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter a typical router address.</li>\n<li>Enter your router’s username and password.</li>\n<li>Open the Wireless section provided.</li>\n<li>Now create a new password using letters, numbers, and special characters. A <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/engineering/password-security-best-practices-compliance/\">strong password</a> can contain at least eight characters long.</li>\n<li>Finally, save your changes so that you can connect to your wireless network using your new password.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Modern Wi-Fi routers include the ‘Guest network’ option with its SSID and password. In this case, you don’t want to share your primary password.

Using Firewalls.</h3>\n<p>A Firewall acts as a shield in the process of separating your device from the Internet. Some openings called ports may communicate with your device. At this point, the firewall arrests those ports and prevents your device from hackers.</p>\n<p>You can also use other security software like antivirus programs. In the view of the business sector, Hardware firewalls are appreciable. Software firewalls are widely used for home users since they are cheap.</p>\n<h3 id=\"7-locate-the-router-in-the-center-of-your-home\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#7-locate-the-router-in-the-center-of-your-home\" aria-label=\"7 locate the router in the center of your home permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>7. Locate the router in the center of your home.</h3>\n<p>The signal from the router radiates in all directions. So placing the router in the center of the room provides more security.</p>\n<p>However, if you place the router near the window, the signal may also move outside. So the possibility of tracing your signal is high. You may also keep the router in a cardboard box or the antennas covered by foil to prevent these issues.</p>\n<h3 id=\"8-enable-mac-address-filtering\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#8-enable-mac-address-filtering\" aria-label=\"8 enable mac address filtering permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>8.

Disclosure</h2>\n<p>With technology offering new horizons to businesses, modern applications and websites are becoming more complex. The more features and functionality we add to our business website/application, the more its interface becomes complex. </p>\n<p>Excessive information/choices eventually make users feel dissatisfied as it hampers their first experience with the product. </p>\n<p>Here’s where progressive disclosure comes into play.</p>\n<p>Users always choose the most effortless path to get a job done. They won’t spend an extra second to scroll through and find what they’re actually looking for. </p>\n<p>If a business website/application isn’t able to convince them that they have landed at the right spot within the first interaction of a user, they’ll end up losing a potential client. </p>\n<p>Progressive disclosure helps build a seamless experience for users while portraying the necessary information regarding the features and capabilities of a product that helps <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/customer-security/\">build trust in a user</a> in the initial yet crucial few seconds of their interaction. </p>\n<p>In other words, progressive disclosure streamlines baseline experience as it hides details from users until they need or ask to see them. </p>\n<p>Let’s understand this thing through a real-life example. </p>\n<p>An e-Commerce website contains thousands of products. For these thousands of products, there can be thousands of customers or even more. </p>\n<p>It becomes technically impossible for the vendor to mention all the products on the website’s landing page to please every user that lands on their website. The e-Commerce store places mega menus (drop-down menus) that contain specific categories of products to overcome this. This arrangement saves more space for essential elements, including the search bar and promotional offer banners. </p>\n<p>This arrangement helps everyone, including the buyers and sellers, as users can quickly navigate to their desired product category, choose their product, and make a purchase. </p>\n<h2 id=\"progressive-disclosure-coupled-with-progressive-profiling\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#progressive-disclosure-coupled-with-progressive-profiling\" aria-label=\"progressive disclosure coupled with progressive profiling permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Progressive Disclosure Coupled with Progressive Profiling</h2>\n<p>We’ve learned a lot about progressive disclosure and have a fair idea about its importance and implementation.</p>\n<p>Let’s now look at one of the essential elements that combine with progressive disclosure to help improve customer onboarding and enhance conversions. </p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-progressive-profiling\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#what-is-progressive-profiling\" aria-label=\"what is progressive profiling permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>What is Progressive Profiling?</h2>\n<p><strong>Progressive Profiling</strong> is an intelligent feature that gradually gathers data from customers in an automated way. </p>\n<p>Progressive profiling for customer registration allows you to split a potentially complicated registration process into multiple steps.

The concept of social login authentication or social authentication involves creating a single sign-on for applications. This means that users can sign up for a range of applications or websites without having to repeatedly input their credentials.</p>\n<p>The login credentials usually come from a social media platform like Twitter, Facebook, and more, which the user can use to automatically input the credentials they require. Thus, the process of user social login authentication will be cut short significantly for users. </p>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-social-login-work\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-does-social-login-work\" aria-label=\"how does social login work permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How Does Social Login Work?</h2>\n<p>Social logins is usually manifested using the following steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Social login is typically visible to a user when they click on an application and are gearing up to register to it as a new user or log in as a repeat user. To sign in with social media, the application will then place a series of CIAM (customer identity and access management) authentication options in front of the user. These options are essentially suggesting that the users can provide the required login credentials using the following social networking link.\n</li>\n<li>Upon choosing a link, the respective social media platform will notice a sign-in or log-in request.</li>\n<li>The user will then receive a notification asking to grant access to the app or the website.</li>\n<li>Finally, the social media provider will confirm the identity of the user, who will then obtain access to the application or site.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/loginradius-ciam-social-login/\"><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 768px; \"\n    >\n      <span\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\"\n    style=\"padding-bottom: 30.307692307692307%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\"\n  ></span>\n  <img\n        class=\"gatsby-resp-image-image\"\n        alt=\"social-login\"\n        title=\"social-login\"\n        src=\"/static/f2945ee3c14ddb03e7f77a5db0f15b1f/e5715/Social-Login.png\"\n        srcset=\"/static/f2945ee3c14ddb03e7f77a5db0f15b1f/a6d36/Social-Login.png 650w,\n/static/f2945ee3c14ddb03e7f77a5db0f15b1f/e5715/Social-Login.png 768w,\n/static/f2945ee3c14ddb03e7f77a5db0f15b1f/63ff0/Social-Login.png 2887w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\n        style=\"width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;vertical-align:middle;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n      />\n    </span></a></p>\n<p>Depending on the social network provider and their respective CIAM management practices, the process of social login authentication differs slightly. This is because each platform collects different user information and implements distinct consumer data security strategies.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the social logins of popular social media platforms involve the following distinctions:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A user who chooses to log in to a website or application using the Facebook login will allow the said site to access all the information present on their Facebook account. However, the user does have control over what information is accessible to the third-party site that they are logging into by agreeing to a series of permissions.\n</li>\n<li>A Google sign-in would allow third-party websites to access customer information like age range, friend lists, and the ability to interact with the customer's public feed. The third-party website or application will also be able to send emails to the customer.</li>\n<li>When it comes to LinkedIn, the user will not be able to control permissions as in the above two cases. The user's professional information will be accessible to the website upon receiving approval from LinkedIn to collect user information.</li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/sign-in-with-apple/\">Apple Sign-in</a> is a different story altogether as users will be granting access to their Apple IDs. To increase the authentication security social login, users will have to carry out two-factor authentication with each login.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Therefore, depending on what information a developer would like to access, they will have to choose a social network provider accordingly.</p>\n<h2 id=\"why-should-you-add-social-login-to-your-applications\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#why-should-you-add-social-login-to-your-applications\" aria-label=\"why should you add social login to your applications permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Why Should You Add Social Login to Your Applications?</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Competitive Advantage</strong>: Social login should be the default for startups today, offering a significant competitive edge.

This CIAM authentication solution has a range of benefits for both users and developers alike. For developers, social login provides the following advantages:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improve User Management    </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Using a CIAM authentication option like social login, developers can ensure that a user is a real person. This essentially acts like an additional layer of verification aiding in identity management. It will also help to protect against spam and other harmful login options.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost-effective Customer Data Security</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Developers need not spend time or money on introducing social authentication on their platforms. This is because of the availability of APIs present on the social media platforms like <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/engineering/login-with-facebook/\">Facebook Login</a> and the Google+ API. In most cases, these APIs are free to use.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase Engagement    </li>\n</ul>\n<p>In case the user agrees to permit the third-party website or application to access their information present on social media platforms, a developer can create an experience that aligns with the user's preferences. Therefore, the application is more likely to engage the user.</p>\n<p>When it comes to users, the use of social logins will bring about the following benefits:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Management of Few Accounts    </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Users will not have to deal with several accounts at a time. This aspect will be especially useful as one would not have to remember different passwords. Therefore, the chances of a user being unable to log in decrease greatly.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Convenient Sign-in</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The sign-in process is especially easy as users need not fill long forms to register themselves to the website. The predictability of the registering process will also mean that users are more likely to sign up. Therefore, users can have an infinitely better experience with the third-party website.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consumer Trust    </li>\n</ul>\n<p>Users that are wary of what information is accessible to third parties can use social login to control this accessibility. Therefore, one has more control over their information while signing in quickly.</p>\n<h2 id=\"problems-with-social-login\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#problems-with-social-login\" aria-label=\"problems with social login permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Problems With Social Login</h2>\n<p>Among the many benefits that social logins offer users and developers, certain issues crop up.

Here are some of the benefits associated with digital identity verification: </p>\n<p><strong>1. Robust Security</strong></p>\n<p>Adding multiple layers of authentication to your current network through <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/ebook/buyers-guide-to-multi-factor-authentication/\">multi-factor authentication</a> (MFA) can help enhance overall security. </p>\n<p>MFA is considered the most reliable way to authenticate users that prevents unauthorized access and eventually helps to comply with specific industry regulations.</p>\n<p>For example, PCI-DSS requires MFA to be implemented in certain situations to prevent unauthorized users from accessing systems. So, even when application updates lead to unknown and unattended consequences, MFA compliance ensures that it remains virtually non-intrusive.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Mitigates the Risks Associated with Human Verification Measures</strong></p>\n<p>The traditional methods for verifying an identity solely rely on human verification measures that include comparing a person’s picture on a government-issued identity with the ones asking to avail certain services (online/offline).</p>\n<p>These measures are widely used to judge the identity, whether it’s fake or genuine. </p>\n<p>However, unauthorized professionals can easily bypass these verification processes by altering the documents through several free tools available in the market. </p>\n<p>Using a reliable identity verification system reduces human judgment-related risks and mitigates human error in verifying an individual’s identity. </p>\n<p><strong>3. Improves Customer Experience</strong></p>\n<p>Customer experience is everything, and if it’s reinforced with the highest level of security, it’s the game-changer for any enterprise or public sector service provider. </p>\n<p>The cutting-edge identity verification system offered by LoginRadius offers user-friendly experiences for potential customers right from the onboarding stage and during the entire consumer life cycle. </p>\n<p>The robust CIAM (consumer identity and access management) solution by LoginRadius enables secure authentication and adds multiple layers of authentication through multi-factor authentication and adaptive authentication (risk-based authentication). </p>\n<p>Customers can quickly verify their identity either through their social media accounts or through a one-time password (OTP), which enhances the overall user experience. </p>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-the-identity-verification-process-work\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#how-does-the-identity-verification-process-work\" aria-label=\"how does the identity verification process work permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>How does the Identity Verification Process Work?</h2>\n<p>The identity verification process through the identity and access management system works by performing three main tasks viz. identification, <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/authentication-vs-authorization-infographic/\">authentication, and authorization</a>.</p>\n<p>In other words, a CIAM solution functions to provide the right people access to devices, hardware, software applications, or any IT tool to perform a specific task.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/digital-consumer-landscape-ebook/\"><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative;

It helps to authorize the user and provide access control for applications based on the user’s credentials. </p>\n<p>Here are some ways through which identities of consumers can be verified: </p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email Verification:</strong> Email is still considered the primary means of authentication because other mechanisms are not as optimized or approach everyone. So it is safe to say that most of your application users use their Gmail accounts for creating their new accounts. The credentials used in setting up the email verification can be used to sign in to an account. </li>\n<li><strong>Biometric Verification:</strong> Biometrics are physical characteristics and traits of an individual that are unique to them. These characteristics can be used for authentication purposes. Most common <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/mobile-biometric-authentication-datasheet\">biometric authentication</a> characteristics include fingerprints, iris, face, and voice. </li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Phone Verification:</strong> With phone verification, customers use their telephone numbers to identify themselves. This process occurs in three simple steps.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The customer fills out the registration form with their phone number, later acting as the username.</li>\n<li>LoginRadius sends a temporary one-time passcode (OTP) registration via an SMS message or automated call.</li>\n<li>The customer verifies their phone number by entering the OTP on the website or mobile app.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Social Verification:</strong> Social login/verification enables users to use existing login credentials from a social networking platform, including Facebook, Google, Twitter, and more, allowing simplified logins and registrations. LoginRadius simplifies social authentication and improves the overall user experience. </p>\n<p>Our social authentication solution flawlessly combines the APIs of over 40 social networks that create a unified social API fully equipped to handle all the specific features of these platforms.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"identity-verification-regulations-and-standards\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#identity-verification-regulations-and-standards\" aria-label=\"identity verification regulations and standards permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Identity Verification Regulations and Standards</h2>\n<p>Several countries have different standards and regulations for identity verification, which service providers should consider before serving the citizens of that particular country. </p>\n<p>If you’re relying on a CIAM solution like LoginRadius, you need not worry about identity verification regulations and standards. </p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/\">LoginRadius Identity Platform</a> is designed to comply with all significant data security and privacy laws and with the terms of various social networks.

There are essentially two reasons why users dislike creating new accounts on third-party websites. Firstly, users try to avoid filling long registration forms on these websites or applications. The other reason is that consumers use login services like social logins to register as they prefer to have a single password for the multiple accounts that the user has.</p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Recovering Login Information</li>\n</ol>\n<p>According to some studies, <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20171209150724/http://www1.janrain.com/rs/janrain/images/Industry-Research-Value-of-Social-Login-2013.pdf\">1 in 3</a>  users states that they are unable to remember their login information, especially for third-party websites that they do not visit frequently.

One set of credentials that they can use anywhere they interact with your brand.</p>\n<p>Since the market is flooded with plenty of OTT platforms and publication websites, the ones offering a seamless experience to the users would surely get more signups and subscriptions.</p>\n<p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/how-media-and-publication-companies-use-loginradius-identity-platform/\">How Media and Publication Companies Use the LoginRadius Identity Platform</a></p>\n<h3 id=\"access-management---for-restricting-content\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#access-management---for-restricting-content\" aria-label=\"access management   for restricting content permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Access Management - For Restricting Content</h3>\n<p>With the increasing access to media over OTT platforms, the entertainment industry’s biggest challenge is setting age restrictions for specific content.</p>\n<p>While most media platforms aren’t focusing on creating sub-profiles, the competitors are already leveraging access management for a single identity used by multiple users.</p>\n<p>Whether we talk about a particular category of content for premium users or setting age restrictions, access management plays a crucial role in enhancing the user experience for every business.</p>\n<p>Access management through a CIAM solution like LoginRadius helps improve user experience and eventually plays a crucial role in enhancing overall data and privacy security.</p>\n<p>LoginRadius’ cloud-based CIAM solution helps businesses seamlessly manage access without hampering the overall user experience. This allows OTT platforms to gain more signups, increase retention rates, and scale business growth.</p>\n<h3 id=\"progressive-profiling\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#progressive-profiling\" aria-label=\"progressive profiling permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Progressive Profiling</h3>\n<p>Media businesses need to understand that registration fatigue could be why they lose a potential subscriber.</p>\n<p>Admit it; nobody wants to share heaps of personal details in a single go, especially during the sign-up process. Keeping the subscription form compact is the best way to ensure a quick sign-up from the users’ end.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/presenting-progressive-profiling-loginradius/\">Progressive profiling</a> lets you gather important details about a subscriber over time and not everything in a single go. This not only improves user experience but eventually helps to build credibility in the long run.</p>\n<p>LoginRadius enables you to gather consumer data through various stages of the consumer's journey to share their information as they interact with your business.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.loginradius.com/resource/a-complete-guide-to-website-authentication/\"><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative;
