Customer reviews
Passwordless biometrics have reduced help desk tickets and improve secure employee onboarding
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for 1Kosmos BlockID is for authentication. Before 1Kosmos BlockID , we were using password authentication. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, we transitioned to passwordless authentication, which includes face unlock and fingerprint authentication through 1Kosmos BlockID.
1Kosmos BlockID is used for employee login using passkeys or FIDO2 authentication instead of passwords or security questions. It also helps in customer identification and identity verification by uploading IDs, taking selfies, and performing live detection to confirm that users are real.
What is most valuable?
The transition to 1Kosmos BlockID has improved our workflow and reduced the tickets raised on a daily basis. Before implementing it, several tickets were raised every day for password resets or forgotten passwords. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, all these issues were resolved.
1Kosmos BlockID has impacted my organization positively because we previously used password authentication where anyone could easily forget their password. Additionally, hackers could compromise accounts using passwords. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, these problems were resolved.
The best features that 1Kosmos BlockID offers are passwordless authentication, phishing-resistant authentication so that no one can steal OTPs, biometric authentication with live detection, and a decentralized identity wallet that allows users to securely store verified credentials. Self-service account recovery is one of the biggest operational advantages because users can verify their identity and recover access themselves instead of calling IT.
The features of 1Kosmos BlockID that stand out in day-to-day use for business leaders are reduced help desk costs, fewer password-related issues, lower fraud risk, faster onboarding, and reduced branch posers.
What needs improvement?
1Kosmos BlockID can be improved by making the onboarding flows faster, improving document scanning capabilities, supporting more languages, and providing better guidance during selfie or liveness checks.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using 1Kosmos BlockID for the last two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
1Kosmos BlockID is very stable in my experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
1Kosmos BlockID is scalable according to user requirements.
How are customer service and support?
I have not used customer support for 1Kosmos BlockID directly, but my team has used it and found them to be very helpful, kind, and timely in their support. I can rate the customer support for 1Kosmos BlockID a 7 to 8 based on my team's feedback, even though I have not used it myself.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before 1Kosmos BlockID, we were using only password authentication, which is why we moved to 1Kosmos BlockID.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with 1Kosmos BlockID because it has saved time. Before using 1Kosmos BlockID, staff were required to resolve tickets raised for password issues. After implementing it, there is no longer a requirement for personnel to handle these issues because it is a passwordless process, which is very helpful for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding 1Kosmos BlockID's pricing, setup cost, and licensing, it is cost-effective. While it is expensive according to our initial expectations, it is very helpful because investing in a tool that helps our organization from a security point of view provides significant value.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing 1Kosmos BlockID, we evaluated other options.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding 1Kosmos BlockID's governance and security, traditional IAM systems often create accounts based on HR or admin requests without verifying the person's real-world identity. With 1Kosmos BlockID, government ID verification, biometric verification, liveness detection, and identity proofing are possible, ensuring that accounts belong to real people. This is very helpful and prevents hackers from easily compromising accounts since it is passwordless.
Regarding accuracy, 1Kosmos BlockID uses government ID document verification, facial matching, biometric comparison, and liveness detection to check if IDs are genuine and verify that the person presenting the ID is the correct individual and physically present. It is very reliable because no one can create false identities during the verification process.
I advise others looking into using 1Kosmos BlockID to definitely use it because it helps significantly from a security perspective. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Facial recognition at our building gate has improved access control and saves time and budget
What is our primary use case?
My main use for 1Kosmos BlockID was a project in which we had to develop a facial recognition system for another company at the gate of their building. After the facial recognition was completed, we encrypted all of that data and stored it into a database where it was possible to access and review who entered the building.
What is most valuable?
In my experience with 1Kosmos BlockID , the system was very accurate, with facial recognition working correctly approximately 99% of the time, and the platform is very user-friendly.
The user-friendly aspect of 1Kosmos BlockID is straightforward enough for any user and was very handy for finance and HR departments, and it is not necessary to be a tech person to operate it.
Regarding the metrics with 1Kosmos BlockID, I have to say that we saved 80% of the allocation budget for this project, and the time saved was at least 40%.
What needs improvement?
1Kosmos BlockID is fine as it is. However, it could potentially reach a full 100% accuracy rate for facial recognition.

I would like to give the advice regarding 1Kosmos BlockID to not dive deep into the use of this product, as it is very easy to use. I give this review a rating of 9 out of 10.
Passwordless workflows have reduced credential overhead and now simplify secure user access
What is our primary use case?
1Kosmos BlockID is primarily used for password verification and passwordless authentication use cases.
A specific use case and one of the primary day-to-day uses for 1Kosmos BlockID is passwordless authentication for internal applications and secure access workflows.

There are still some areas for improvement, such as the onboarding and reporting flexibility that I mentioned, but overall, the platform is beneficial for my environment.
