Trust & Verification explains how Onyx confirms account eligibility for sensitive actions.
The goal is not to expose more personal information. The goal is to make the right action available to the right account.
What It Does
Verification supports actions that need more confidence than a basic login.
That may include payment features, connected apps, recovery paths, community access, or other actions where identity and permission matter.
Why It Matters
A global mobile account touches service, identity, payments, communication, and connected apps.
Some actions need stronger trust. Others stay simple. Onyx uses verification to match the requirement to the action instead of asking for everything up front.
Trust States
A trust state helps the product decide what the account can do next.
The customer sees the practical result: ready, needs review, requires verification, or unavailable in the current context.
Verification Requests
When verification is needed, the product explains why.
A good request names the action, the requirement, and the next step. It never feels like a mystery checkpoint.
Scoped Results
A verification result can answer a specific question without exposing unnecessary evidence.
For example: is the account eligible for this action? Is the permission still valid? Is the connected app allowed to receive this context?
Customer Control
Customers need to know what is being requested and what happens after approval.
For connected apps, consent matters. For payment or account actions, confirmation matters. For recovery, secure ownership matters.
What It Is Not
Verification is not a public ranking and not a profile badge contest.
It is not the same as wallet ownership. It is not a way for apps to collect unrestricted identity data.
When It Appears
Verification appears when the action requires it.
If no verification is needed, the product stays out of the way. If verification is needed, the path is clear, short, and specific.
