How does face + pattern unlock work?

Solident uses a dual-factor authentication system combining facial recognition with pattern unlock for maximum security and convenience.

Face Recognition

  1. Enrollment: When you first set up Solident, the app captures multiple images of your face from different angles

  2. Vector Creation: These images are converted into a unique mathematical representation (face vector)

  3. Local Storage: The face vector is encrypted and stored locally on your device only

  4. Verification: When you log in, the app compares your current face with the stored vector

Pattern Unlock

  1. Pattern Creation: You create a unique pattern by connecting dots on a 3x3 grid

  2. Encryption: The pattern is used as an additional encryption key

  3. Combination: Both face recognition AND pattern must match to access your wallet

Security Features

  • Liveness Detection: Prevents spoofing with photos or videos

  • Local Processing: All biometric data stays on your device

  • Failed Attempt Limits: Account locks after multiple failed attempts

  • No Server Storage: Your biometric data is never stored on our servers

Why Both?

Using both face and pattern provides:

  • Convenience: Face recognition is quick and easy

  • Security: Pattern adds an extra layer of protection

  • Backup: If face recognition fails, you can still use your pattern
