What is a VeroCard?

VeroCard is a secure multipurpose identity terminal, purpose built to protect and verify digital identity online. VeroCard (in concert with the VeroGuard Platform) provides user verification with every authentication request, via a ‘back-to-base’ PIN validation process, harnessing the same technology used by banks to verify and secure ATM and EFTPOS transactions, repurposed as an identity layer for the internet.

VeroCard can be used for authenticating users across devices, applications, and physical access points, while also consolidating multiple disparate identities into a single VeroID. Users can easily access systems with minimal friction by entering a PIN on their VeroCard, enabling a passwordless, phish-resistant experience for Next-Generation Multi-Factor Authentication.

Once your IT administrator has configured your PC and our account has been configured for logging in with VeroGuard, your login experience will change from entering your password via your device’s keyboard, to entering a PIN on your VeroCard. This process removes passwords from the authentication process and ensures access can only be granted with the correct combination of your VeroCard and your secret PIN. 

Before you can do this, you must Activate your VeroCard.

What is Activation?

Activation is a process we use to link your VeroCard to your VeroID with your PIN. During this process the VeroCard will connect to the VeroGuard Platform and validate its configuration and permissions before requesting you to set your PIN.

​Setting up your VeroCard for the first time involves

1. Installing Serenity - VeroGuard's secure communications interface between VeroCards and user devices.

2. Activating the VeroCard - Setting your secret PIN and linking your identity to the VeroCard. 

The version of Serenity and the required activation steps will vary depending on how and where you will be using your VeroCard.
