A company recently hired remote contractors and wants to confirm that each applicant is the person who went through the background checks. Which method is a strong option for user validation?
Sending a verification link to an inbox the user claims belongs to them
Having the user present government-issued documentation during a live verification session
Inspecting the person’s social media activity for matching details
Asking challenge questions that rely on personal hobbies
Verifying an official credential with a trusted service provides higher confidence that the individual is who they claim to be. It includes comparing a real-time physical document check or biometric evaluation. Relying on shared secret questions is prone to guesswork or leaked data. Social media is unreliable for identifying a person. Email verification does not confirm a legitimate identity beyond access to an inbox.
