Introducing the New FACEIO Website: Updated Docs, More Languages, and New Products

The new FACEIO website brings together updated developer documentation, localized pages, accessibility guidance, and dedicated product pages for facial authentication, Meeting Shield, and ID Match.

For website owners and businesses, it makes the options easier to understand. For developers, it provides a clearer path from creating a FACEIO application to integrating the fio.js JavaScript library and connecting authentication results to an existing backend.

Updated Documentation, From Your First Integration to Production

The documentation follows the work developers need to do: create an application, configure it, integrate the widget, and handle the results.

Start with Getting Started, our guide to a 5-minute facial authentication integration. It walks through creating an application in the FACEIO Console, obtaining its Public ID, reviewing the security and privacy settings, and adding fio.js to your website or web app.

Then use the Integration Guide for method parameters, return values, error codes, and framework examples. It covers enroll() for registering new users, authenticate() for returning users, and session handling with restartSession().

The Developer Center connects these resources with the references you need as your implementation grows:

  • Facial ID reference: understand the identifier returned after enrollment and how to associate it with your own user accounts.
  • REST API reference: manage Facial IDs and use the documented backend endpoints while keeping private API keys on your server.
  • Webhook documentation: receive enrollment, authentication, and Facial ID deletion events in your backend.
  • Security best practices: review PIN Code validation, liveness settings, domain restrictions, and the controls needed around your login flow.
  • Privacy best practices: plan notices, consent, retention, deletion, and recognition-engine deployment.

Already using FACEIO? Revisit these references before your next release, especially if you are adding webhooks, changing security settings, or updating account-deletion workflows.

Read FACEIO in Your Language

The website and developer documentation are now available in four localized versions alongside English:

Use the language selectors in the header or footer to move between equivalent pages. Technical names such as fio.js, Facial ID, API methods, and error constants remain unchanged so they stay consistent with the code you write.

Website localization is separate from the embedded experience: the FACEIO widget supports more than 70 languages, helping teams provide enrollment and authentication flows for users in different markets.

Facial Authentication for Websites, Web Apps, and Corporate Portals

FACEIO facial authentication remains the core of the platform. It lets users enroll and authenticate through a browser widget, using the device's camera without requiring a native mobile app or a dedicated biometric sensor.

Developers load fio.js, initialize it with the application's Public ID, and connect enrollment and authentication to their existing interface. The library works with Vanilla JavaScript, React, Vue, Next.js, and other JavaScript stacks.

Your backend keeps control of accounts, sessions, recovery, and authorization. FACEIO does not store, handle, or access biometric hashes; the selected facial recognition engine manages them. The updated documentation explains these responsibilities and the available cloud and PixLab Insight on-premises deployment options.

Meeting Shield: Video Risk Signals for Business Meetings

FACEIO Meeting Shield is a Chrome extension for supported Google Meet, Zoom Web, and Microsoft Teams Web sessions.

It analyzes visible meeting video and reports suspicious signals associated with deepfakes, synthetic video, replayed footage, and manipulated facial motion. Its local-first analysis is designed to avoid uploading raw meeting video.

Meeting Shield is intended for situations such as remote interviews, executive calls, financial consultations, and customer meetings. It gives teams additional information to review before sharing sensitive information or making a decision. These signals support the organization's verification process; they do not establish a participant's identity or guarantee that every manipulated video will be detected.

Visit the product page to review how the extension works and request access through the FACEIO Console.

ID Match: Compare a Live Selfie with an ID Portrait

FACEIO ID Match brings a guided selfie-to-ID comparison into your website or web app.

It uses the same application setup and fio.js integration pattern as facial authentication. Calling idmatch() opens a popup that captures a live selfie and an ID document, performs a liveness check, and compares the selfie with the portrait extracted from the document. Your application can also request selected document fields.

Document scanning, portrait extraction, and optional field extraction are powered by PixLab DOCSCAN. Submitted images and processing data are handled in RAM and deleted immediately after the result is ready or the session fails. The processing pipeline retains no submitted images, document data, or scan logs.

ID Match compares the two faces. It does not authenticate the document, perform KYC or AML checks, or decide whether to approve a user. Your application determines how to use the returned result and any requested fields.

Accessibility Is Part of the Integration

The updated website also explains the FACEIO widget's accessibility features: visual and audio instructions, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support with compatible browsers and assistive technologies.

These features help guide users through enrollment and authentication. Before release, test the complete experience within your own website or web app and provide another way to access an account for users who cannot or do not want to use facial authentication.

Start with the New Guides

Whether you are adding passwordless face login to a customer website, integrating facial authentication into a corporate portal, or exploring Meeting Shield and ID Match, start with the product pages and updated documentation.

Open the FACEIO Console to create an application and obtain its Public ID, then follow the Getting Started guide to integrate fio.js.

FACEIO Just Got a Major Upgrade: Faster, Smarter, and More Resilient Than Ever

FACEIO LANDING

The FACEIO platform has just received one of its biggest updates so far focused on reliability, accuracy, and developer experience. If you’re using FACEIO to power passwordless face login, online identity verification, or biometric authentication in your web apps, this release is for you.

From a more resilient distributed infrastructure to a state-of-the-art deepfake and face anti-spoofing detector, FACEIO is now even better equipped to secure millions of users across the globe.

You can explore FACEIO on the official website at faceio.net.

Distributed, More Resilient Infrastructure

As usage keeps growing, we’ve invested heavily in our backend architecture:

  • Distributed deployment across multiple regions for higher availability
  • Automatic failover in case of localized outages
  • Optimized routing so users connect to the closest edge, improving widget responsiveness

This means your fio.js widget loads faster, enrollments are smoother, and authentication requests remain stable even under heavy traffic.

The result: you can rely on FACEIO as a critical authentication layer for production workloads, not just side projects.

Highest Accuracy Yet

Under the hood, FACEIO now leverages an improved face recognition stack with:

  • Better handling of challenging lighting conditions
  • Increased robustness to pose variations and occlusions
  • More consistent performance across diverse demographics

Combined with the existing defense-grade recognition engines and liveness features, this update pushes overall accuracy to a new level, helping reduce both false accepts and false rejects in real-world deployments.

New Deepfake & Face Anti-Spoofing Detector

Deepfakes and presentation attacks are evolving quickly. FACEIO’s new state-of-the-art anti-spoofing pipeline is designed to keep up:

  • Detects printed photos, replayed videos, and screen attacks
  • Targets emerging deepfake-style manipulations
  • Works in real time, without requiring any extra hardware on the user’s device

These capabilities extend the existing liveness detection and spoof protection already present in the SDK, offering stronger defence against modern fraud and account takeover scenarios.

Seamless Integration with AWS

Many FACEIO customers already run their apps on AWS. With this update, the integration story is even smoother:

  • Easier to build end-to-end pipelines where FACEIO handles the face authentication front, and AWS services (like Lambda, API Gateway, or other AWS components) handle your backend business logic.
  • Improved patterns for connecting FACEIO events to your AWS infrastructure (for logging, analytics, or secondary checks) or using the REST-API.

If your stack is already on AWS, FACEIO now fits even more naturally into your existing architecture.

2+ Million fio.js Widget Instantiations

FACEIO continues to grow with real-world adoption. The platform has already crossed over 2 million widget & SDK instantiations, powering authentication and verification flows on websites and apps around the world.

This scale gives us invaluable feedback to:

Worldwide Customer Adoption & Satisfaction

From startups to established enterprises, companies across multiple regions and industries trust FACEIO for:

  • Passwordless login on web apps and portals
  • Biometric authentication for internal tools
  • Online Age verification for KYC, age checks, and fraud prevention

The new release doubles down on what customers care about most: reliability, security, and ease of integration.

Still the Same Easy-to-Integrate API

Despite all the under-the-hood changes, the developer experience stays simple:

  • Add the widget with a single script tag or NPM package
  • Instantiate the faceIO object with your Application Public ID
  • Call enroll() and authenticate() from your front-end – that’s it
