## What is BKey ID?

BKey is a biometric identity app that lets you prove who you are — without passwords, PINs, or security questions. Your face is your key.

Create a secure digital identity tied to your unique biometrics. Log in with a quick face scan. Approve or deny access requests from apps and services — all from your phone.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan your face to create your identity. No passwords to remember or reset.
2. Your biometric data is processed entirely on your device. Raw images are never stored or sent anywhere.
3. A decentralized identifier (DID) is created for you — a cryptographic identity that you own and control.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
- Face scans happen on-device using advanced liveness detection.
- Your encrypted data is zero-knowledge — even we can't see what's inside.
- No tracking. No ads. No selling your data.

APPROVE REQUESTS SECURELY
- Third-party apps and services can request verification through BKey.
- You review each request and approve or deny with a face scan.
- You stay in control of who gets access and when.

BUILT FOR TRUST
Biometric liveness detection prevents spoofing and deepfakes.
Cryptographic identity built on decentralized standards.
Enterprise-grade security in a consumer-friendly app.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-25

A new BKey. Everything you do now lives in four tabs:

Approvals — one inbox for every request that needs your sign-off. Each request shows what's being asked, when it expires, and exactly what approving will do — before you confirm.
Vault — your encrypted credentials, codes, and documents in one place.
Agents — see and control what automated agents may do for you: limits, scope, and expiry, with a simulator to test a rule before you grant it.
You — your identity, devices, security and recovery.

Also in this update:
• A single "+" to add a device or pair the BKey browser extension, right from Devices & sessions
• Clearer approval screens with expiry countdowns and plain-language summaries
• Sent: track the requests you've sent and where they stand
• Faster launch, smoother inbox, and visual polish throughout

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-24

• Passkeys, backed up: Save and use passkeys for your accounts — now securely
  backed up and restorable on a new device, end-to-end encrypted the whole way.
• A faster vault: Search your vault, organize items into collapsible groups, and
  see passkeys inline. Add authenticator (2FA) codes in seconds by scanning or
  pasting a setup link.
• More reliable recovery: Restoring your account and vault on a new device is
  smoother and more dependable, with fixes to clean-device restore.
