Reusable digital identity platform Dock has added a new feature that will allow users to recover their credentials quickly with the help of biometrics. Verifiable credentials are usually stored on a user’s mobile phone which can get stolen, lost or replaced leading to inconvenience for users. Credential issuers can now offer users to back up their digital ID by creating an ID wallet in the cloud through Dock’s Cloud Wallet technology. The Swiss company encrypts each Cloud Wallet with the user’s biometrics ensuring only they can access the wallet. Credential issuers can choose between different biometric methods, including fingerprint or facial recognition. .
