Biometric Authentication for Bitcoin Wallets? How Keyless Earned Trust in a Privacy-Conscious Industry

Live Webinar – 12 November 2025, 14:00 CET
In the crypto space, user privacy – especially biometric privacy – is crucial. Swiss Bitcoin wallet provider Relai faced a significant challenge: they needed to comply with French license requirements that mandated Strong Customer Authentication, but needed to keep the customer experience smooth.
SMS OTPs offer a poor CX and local biometric options like FaceID or Samsung Touch are bound to their operating systems. None of these offer strong security either - they do not prove that the person authenticating is the same person that enrolled.
Cloud-based biometric authentication emerged as a clear choice - a FaceID-like user experience that does prove genuine identity - by linking both the user’s face and their device to those that enrolled. A multi-factor experience with one look. But cloud-based solutions store biometric data on a cloud server, where it is at risk, even when hashed.
Enter Keyless - the only cloud-based biometric authentication solution that does not see or store any biometric data anywhere. Where authentication happens without the cloud service provider or even Keyless ever seeing any biometric data.
Drop in to our session with Relai Co-founder and CTO Adem Bilican, who will share his story and experience rolling out biometric authentication to an intensely privacy-conscious market.
You’ll walk away with:
  • A clear view of the limits of traditional crypto security methods
  • Practical insights from Relai’s integration journey
  • Why Keyless’ approach protects users by authenticating identity without holding biometric information
Join us for an insider’s look at the future of authentication in the crypto industry.
