Verify Your Identity With Proof in an AI Assistant

Audience: Everyone

The short answer: When a site asks for proof of identity, your assistant shows a Confirm your Identity card. Select Verify my identity, unlock your ID in the Proof tab, approve what you want to share, and go back to your chat.

⚠️
Connect Proof to your assistant first. See Connect Proof to Your AI Assistant. You also need a Proof Digital ID.
💡
Pro tip: Some checks finish with one click in your chat. Checks that need stronger verification open Proof in a new tab, as shown below.

1. Start From the Confirm Your Identity Card

Your assistant shows who is asking and the Proof account you'll confirm as. Select Verify my identity. Select Cancel to stop. Nothing is shared if you cancel.

2. Open Proof

Your assistant gives you a Verify with Proof link. Select it. Your assistant may first ask permission to use Proof. Choose Allow once or Always allow. It may also warn you that you're leaving the assistant to open an external link. Check that the address is a Proof address, then select Open link.

A prompt asking whether to open an external link, with Cancel and Open link buttons, above a permission request with Deny, Always allow, and Allow once buttons.

3. Unlock Your ID

Proof opens in a new tab and says Welcome back. Select Unlock your ID, then center your face in the frame for a quick biometric scan. No camera? Select No camera? Use your phone.

4. Review and Approve

Check who is asking and what will be shared. In this example, the requester asks for your full name and whether you're over 18. Select Approve to share only what's listed.

⚠️
Only approve requests from sites and services you recognize. If a site will also require payment after you verify, Proof tells you before you share anything.

5. Go Back to Your Assistant

Proof shows You're all set. Close the Proof tab and return to your chat. Your assistant picks up from there.

💡
Pro tip: If your assistant doesn't continue on its own, send a message telling it you approved.

  • I selected Verify my identity on the Confirm your Identity card.
