The global passive authentication market is predicted to reach USD 1.48 billion in 2024 and USD 4.61 billion in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 25.5% during the forecast period.
Passive authentication methods can identify a person without their active participation. The banking industry could use this feature when a customer calls a bank. Instead of requesting account numbers or passwords, the agent interacts. In the background, the system attends to the customer and compares the voice with the recorded voice print. Additionally, a mobile banking app can silently track user behavior, such as typing speed, scan patterns, and even geographic location, to offer continuous authentication if the user's session has been hacked. For financial services companies requiring a more discreet registration process, passive voice biometric technologies are also available to enroll clients automatically using past call records. Customers are then discreetly authenticated for the first few seconds of each call without being prompted to enter a password.
Passive authentication is a process or method that verifies the client's or user's uniqueness through behavioral models, which comprises biometric, contextual, and correlative authentication and device identification. Passive authentication also includes multi-factor authentication to provide greater security and control and to help organizations eliminate the need for password-based security models. The passive authentication method is often used to verify and validate users of electronic documents and prevent digital data manipulation. Several companies offer passive authentication platforms, systems, and solutions to help users protect their data and protect it from any data breaches. Passive authentication is often called silent authentication, which delivers strong risk-based authentication for online transactions, especially in the BFSI sector. In the passive authentication method, intelligent and advanced techniques are used to analyze behavior patterns to verify and validate users. These techniques provide adaptive authentication to accurately analyze the data or authenticity of a transaction in real time.
Another factor is the growing demand from businesses to provide an improved user experience. Concerns about the privacy of biometrics are proving to be a limitation for this market.
The increase in data breaches in banks also increases the need for robust authentication technologies, with passive authentication being one of them. Modern smartphones also have sophisticated technologies such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, touch screens, and GPS. In behavioral authentication, a user is valid by the unique way they interact with the phone, such as the way they type or slide or the angle at which they hold the device. It is also not limited to smartphones and tablets. The best behavioral solutions can abstract and analyze over 500 unique parameters, from mouse and trackpad models to typing rate and browser events. They see how users interact with web and mobile apps, identify fraudulent behavior, and provide a risk score to banking and finance companies for every transaction.
Voice biometrics will likely replace traditional and outdated security methods like passwords, PINs, and answers to security questions, offering a more secure way to verify identity in phone calls and digital transactions. Passive verification comprises listening to the speaker's voice while speaking to a voice agent or robot. This process generally requires a more extended conversation to achieve a high-security verification score. Passive authentication means the caller does not need to remember their account or phone number, which benefits some customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike traditional methods that require active user input (e.g., passwords or PINs), passive authentication operates in the background, continuously analyzing user behavior and biometric data to authenticate users seamlessly. This reduces friction in user interactions while maintaining security.
Yes, regulatory compliance is a significant challenge in the passive authentication market. Data protection and privacy regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, impact how organizations implement and manage passive authentication solutions to ensure compliance.
Artificial intelligence is integral to passive authentication systems, as it enables real-time analysis of user behavior, biometric data, and contextual information. AI algorithms enhance accuracy in identifying legitimate users and detecting suspicious activities.
The healthcare sector is adopting passive authentication to secure patient data and streamline access to electronic health records. The technology enhances security without burdening healthcare professionals with additional authentication steps.
