PASS, a national authentication app with 35 million subscribers, has been equipped with an all-purpose tool, the authentication wallet.

The three major telecommunication companies announced on the 15th that they will launch a 'certification wallet' service that allows users to use various authentication services at once, such as identity verification, PASS certificate, mobile driver's license, and QR access card.

With this launch, users can now easily and conveniently use the authentication service through the authentication wallet without having to search for the authentication method required one by one. Previously, each authentication service was organized into separate menus, but this has been changed to a single menu for intuitive use.

The three telecommunication companies have included in their authentication wallets: △PASS identity verification that can be used on over 20,000 online sites; △PASS certificates that can be used at financial institutions and public institutions; △mobile driver's licenses that can be used to verify driver's licenses and identity and can replace physical licenses at airports, unmanned vending machines, etc.; and △QR access cards that eliminate the hassle of having to re-authenticate every month.

To provide the same user experience, the three telecommunication companies integrated the logos and UI/UX of the PASS app, which had been slightly different for each operator.

The three companies plan to sequentially apply the new brand logo and UI/UX not only to the PASS app but also to the PASS identity verification standard window by the end of September.

In the future, the three telecommunications companies plan to develop an integrated authentication service that can process multiple authentications simultaneously with a single authentication through the integration of authentication services, thereby dramatically improving customers' non-face-to-face financial transaction experience.

We also plan to continuously improve customer convenience by adding services such as smart tickets, which combine electronic documents, certificates, mobile driver's licenses, and airline tickets into a certified wallet.

The three major telecommunication companies have also simplified the standard window for PASS identity verification, a service used to authenticate users on online sites, to enhance customer convenience. This measure will simplify the input information required to verify a user's identity, reducing the number of input steps by more than half.

Additionally, when using the PASS app for PIN or biometric authentication, authentication is completed automatically without the user having to click the confirmation button, enabling faster authentication.

The three telecommunication companies stated, “For the convenience of customers, we have configured the Pass app in a wallet format and reorganized the standard window,” and “We plan to continue to expand the use cases and improve the user experience based on the convenience and expandability of Pass to provide a more convenient and secure authentication service.”
