Company mission

To create a world where everyone can seamlessly access any digital service from any device while keeping personal credentials safe, private and under control.

Our take

Usernames and passwords are a leading cause of security breaches, and are thus steadily making way for biometric authentication processes. However, this shift is causing some concerns regarding personal data. Keyless however, is something of a pioneer in this regard, and it’s been growing rapidly as a result, picking up major customers like Vodafone, Oracle, Azure, and Cisco.

The company’s patented authentication technology does not store any biometric data on a user device, or indeed in any centralised location, therefore nobody (not even Keyless) can access it. The reason this is causing such a stir is that it’s the first tech of its kind to not just meet, but exceed GDPR and CCPA regulations.

Naturally, other well funded tech companies have been taking notice of Keyless’ impact, and in late 2021 digital fraud prevention firm Sift acquired it for an undisclosed amount. Considering that Keyless was only founded in 2019, its rise has been quite spectacular, and looks likely to continue over the next few years.
