Aegis Verify

Aegis Verify helps you confirm that someone on a remote call still has access to a trusted iPhone you enrolled in person. First, meet in person and pair trusted devices by scanning QR codes. Later, when a conversation feels unusual, send a verification request. The trusted device uses Face ID or Touch ID to approve the request and displays a short word and three-digit number that can be read aloud. Aegis Verify checks the paired device’s cryptographic response before you confirm the phrase. KEY FEATURES • In-person QR enrollment of trusted devices • Secure, device-specific cryptographic keys • Face ID or Touch ID protected responses • Push notifications for verification requests • Plaintext verification phrases are not stored in the backend • 10 successfully completed verifications free • Optional one-time Aegis Unlimited purchase • Restore purchases on devices using the same Apple Account • In-app privacy policy and account deletion Aegis Verify confirms access to a previously paired trusted device. It does not prove legal or biological identity and should not be used as the sole basis for emergency, financial, legal, or safety decisions.
