PANews reported on September 19 that according to The block, Worldcoin will test Face Auth technology for its World App users and is currently piloting it in designated locations. The new feature "is a private 1:1 facial comparison that ensures that only people who have verified their World ID on the orb can" access the World App. The introduction of this measure is intended to improve the security of users who use the app for tools such as "online shopping, financial transactions, and secure login to applications."
