$AUID - authID Announces Strategic Partnership with Formula5 to Deliver Biometric Identity Security for Microsoft-First Enterprises
Collaboration expands delivery of passwordless biometric authentication and verified identity solutions across workforce and customer environments
DENVER, April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- authID (Nasdaq: AUID), a leading provider of biometric identity verification and authentication solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Formula5, a Microsoft-focused consultancy recognized for its expertise in identity, security, cloud, data analytics and AI. Through the partnership, Formula5 will serve as a reseller and implementation partner, expanding enterprise access to authID’s biometric identity verification and authentication platform.
Together, the companies will help organizations strengthen identity assurance across remote onboarding, call center and help desk operations, and ongoing authentication workflows, supporting modern Zero Trust security architectures in Microsoft environments.
As enterprises continue to shift to distributed workforces and cloud-first identity infrastructures, traditional credentials such as passwords, SMS authentication, and knowledge-based verification have become increasingly vulnerable to phishing, social engineering, and account takeover attacks. Organizations are seeking stronger ways to verify that the person behind a device is the legitimate user without introducing friction for employees or customers.
Formula5 specializes in helping organizations modernize identity and security architectures across regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, energy, and life sciences. The company has earned recognition as a Microsoft Advanced Specialist in Identity and Access Management and Data Security, reflecting deep technical expertise in secure cloud and identity modernization.
