Why BitGo Verify?


Institutional approval workflows require more than simple authentication. Approvers need to move quickly without compromising security, while organizations need confidence that every approval originates from a legitimate user on a trusted device.


BitGo Verify is purpose-built for institutional operations, combining streamlined approval workflows with hardware-backed security controls. Rather than relying solely on browser sessions, passwords, or one-time codes, BitGo Verify moves approval authorization to a trusted mobile device and verifies both the identity of the approver and the integrity of the device being used.



Stronger Assurance for Critical Actions

BitGo Verify extends security beyond user credentials by validating the full approval context: who is approving, which device they are using, and whether that device can be trusted.


The platform combines multiple layers of verification, including:


  • Biometric authentication to confirm the identity of the approver

  • Device attestation and app integrity checks to help ensure approvals originate from untampered devices

  • Hardware-bound push tokens and passkeys that reduce reliance on passwords and shared secrets

  • Session binding and device fingerprinting to strengthen protection against account takeover attempts

  • Live video identification and liveness checks that provide additional assurance for high-risk actions and help defend against impersonation attempts, including deepfakes and injected video attacks


Together, these controls create a trusted approval environment that delivers stronger guarantees than traditional browser-based authentication methods.



Built for Institutional Workflows

BitGo Verify helps teams maintain operational efficiency while preserving strong security controls.

BitGo Verify enables organizations to strengthen approval security without slowing down critical business processes. By combining trusted-device verification, identity assurance, and streamlined approval workflows, institutions can approve transactions faster while maintaining confidence that every approval is legitimate and secure.
