Civic, a blockchain-based identity verification technology, has announced its strategic partnership with wikiHow, the world's leading how-to website.
The partnership will work towards delivering a more streamlined and secure experience for wikiHow users through Civic's Secure Identity Platform. With this, over 150 million monthly wikiHow users will be able to login securely without using a username and password.
"We are pleased to officially welcome wikiHow to Civic's Partner Network. This collaboration illustrates our continuing, strong momentum in building our ecosystem for on-demand, secure, and low-cost access to identity verification services," said Civic CEO, Vinny Lingham.
In its official release, Civic explained that by providing verified identity data with its mobile app, it would simplify the new wikiHow account creation process. Its Secure Identity Platform would help wikiHow provide greater assurance in the privacy of data transactions and greater trust in user identity. Civic will help ensure wikiHow accounts are created by the true owner of the identity data, and will provide a better user experience, without weak passwords, password reset vulnerabilities, and the hassle of legacy two-factor authentication.
"wikiHow is partnering with Civic because we believe in their long term goal of decentralizing identity. We hope to live in a future where people, not corporations, control their own personal information. While Civic is still building towards that decentralized vision and has a way to go, as of today Civic ID already offers better security than passwords. So we're happy to offer Civic login to provide a better user experience for the 150 million people a month who visit wikiHow,” Jack Herrick, CEO of wikiHow, shares his support for the new partnership, said.
