Why is MyID Palm Safer Than Face ID?
Biometrics has long become a part of everyday life, but not all technologies offer the same level of protection. MyID Palm uses a fundamentally different approach compared to facial recognition.

What is the key difference?
- Harder to fake.
MyID Palm works with the unique pattern of veins located beneath the skin. This data cannot be photographed or scanned from a distance.
- No visual footprint.
We constantly expose our faces—to cameras, smartphones, and social media. The palm vein pattern is invisible to the naked eye and does not appear in public sources.
- Resistant to fraud.
Photos, videos, or masks can trick facial recognition systems. Palm biometrics completely eliminates these scenarios.
- Lower risk of leaks.
MyID Palm does not store actual images; instead, it uses encrypted biometric templates—mathematical models that cannot be used to reconstruct a person's appearance.
The Bottom Line:
- Face ID is about convenience.
- MyID Palm is convenience plus a higher level of security.
