Overview
1Kosmos app is a privacy-first identity app that does passwordless authentication, verifies user identity to government-grade assurance, and stores verifiable credentials in a secure digital wallet.
One app for passwordless authentication, identity verification, and verifiable credentials.
Why it exists
Traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by checking if you have access to a registered device, like your phone. But it doesn’t fully confirm your identity, it only proves that someone has the device, not who they actually are.
That’s where 1Kosmos App comes in.
The 1Kosmos app is designed to go beyond basic authentication and truly verify who you are. It brings everything together in one place:
Passwordless login – securely sign in using your face or biometrics, no passwords needed
Digital identity wallet – store and share verified identity details safely, only when needed
In short, it doesn’t just check if you have a device, it ensures you are really you, making access more secure and seamless.
What you can do with the app
Log in to anything, without a password
Approve logins via push notification with one tap
Scan QR codes for instant cross-device authentication
Generate offline-capable workstation OTPs
Authenticate with Touch ID, Face ID, or LiveID liveness detection
Prove who you are to the level required by regulation.
Scan government-issued IDs (Driver's License, Passport)
Confirm liveness with real-time selfie capture (LiveID)
Verify Social Security Number and contact details
Achieve NIST IAL2 identity assurance
Store and share verifiable credentials.
Receive credentials from trusted issuers (employers, schools, agencies)
Share only the attributes a relying party needs (selective disclosure)
Keep credentials on-device, encrypted and tamper-proof
Use W3C Verifiable Credential standards for interoperability
Move to a new device without a helpdesk ticket.
Back up your wallet with a 12-word recovery phrase
Restore identity documents and credentials on any new device
Transfer accounts via QR code from your old device
Retain biometric assurance through device changes
Who it's for
For IT and security leaders
You need to eliminate password-based attacks, comply with MFA mandates (CISA, PCI-DSS, HIPAA), and reduce credential-related helpdesk costs, without disrupting your users. 1Kosmos delivers phishing-resistant authentication with a user experience employees actually adopt.
For product and growth teams
You want to reduce signup friction, eliminate password resets, and offer a login experience that feels modern. With QR-code login and biometric authentication, 1Kosmos can take your conversion rate to where it should be.
For compliance and risk teams
You need to verify customer identity before granting access to regulated services — KYC, AML, healthcare data, financial accounts. 1Kosmos provides NIST IAL2-compliant identity proofing with documented audit trails and standards-based credentials.
For end users
You want to stop remembering passwords, stop getting locked out, and stop worrying about your data being breached. With 1Kosmos, you log in with your face. Your identity stays on your device. You're in control.
What makes 1Kosmos different
Identity, not just authentication
Most authenticator apps only confirm possession of a phone. 1Kosmos verifies the actual person -through documents, biometrics, and liveness detection, and binds that verified identity to every authentication event.
Privacy by design
Identity data lives on your device, not in 1Kosmos's cloud. Biometrics are processed in the device's secure enclave. Credentials use selective disclosure so users share only what's needed. There's nothing for an attacker to steal at scale.
Standards-based and decentralized
Built on W3C Verifiable Credentials, NIST 800-63 IAL2, and FIDO2 standards. Credentials are issued, held, and verified using open protocols, not proprietary lock-in. Relying parties can verify credentials cryptographically without phoning home to 1Kosmos.
