Use Very to securely, and privately, approve actions on your account with a palm scan. It’s an easier, biometric-powered version of one-time passwords or single sign-ons. The app uses your smartphone camera to register your palms. Your palm is analyzed and anonymized, so your personal data is kept private. After your palm is registered, a partner site can easily authenticate or approve actions by asking you to do a simple movement within the Very app. It only takes a few seconds. How to get started: Set up your Very account with an email address. Register both your palms by following the directions in the app. On a partner site, you’ll be given the option to authenticate using Very. Scan the QR code with the Very app and complete the simple movement to verify your identity. And you’re done! Very is private, secure, and backed by a decade of palm biometric research.
