Video-selfies used for identifying users requires users to take a 2 second video-selfie for verifying their liveness, matching the users facemap to their photo ID, and setting up their new accounts. One a user is registered with Favetec they will no longer be required to enter passwords and will gain instant access to applications through facial recognition.

Facetec claims their facial recognition software prevents spoofing from 2D paper photos & digital images, high resolution videos, image swap-in after liveness check, paper masks with eye & moth cutouts, Hollywood masks, wax figures, lifelike dolls, animated digital avatars, video projections on 3D heads, sleeping users with their eyes closed, impostors, lookalikes, and doppelgangers.
