Discover why relying on SMS one-time codes is no longer a viable strategy for secure authentication. From interceptable messages to delayed routing and spoofing risk, we break down the hidden vulnerabilities of SMS and explain how carrier-anchored cryptographic verification tools like MagicalAuth and SuperPasskey offer a faster, safer, and privacy-first alternative.

Glide Identity has captured global attention as the conversation around digital identity and AI-driven fraud moves into the mainstream. Featured across major outlets like Yahoo Finance, FinTech Global, and The AI Journal, the company’s SIM-anchored authentication solutions are redefining how trust is built online. This wave of coverage signals a global shift toward cryptographic, verifiable identity as the new foundation of the internet.

‍Glide Identity, a digital identity security company, has raised an over $20 million Series A funding round led by Crosspoint Capital Partners with participation from Amigos Venture Capital, Singtel Innov8 Ventures and Sir Ronald Cohen to build an identity, authentication and verification platform ready for the AGI era. This round brings Glide's total funding to over $25 million to date as the company races to solve digital commerce's next major security challenge.

Today marks a milestone we've been working toward for years—the launch of Magical Auth and SuperPasskey at Authenticate 2025. The passwordless revolution is already well underway, with over a billion people now using passkeys. But there's been a critical gap: phone number verification still relies on vulnerable SMS one-time passwords. Today, we're filling that gap and completing the passwordless picture for billions of people worldwide.

Glide Identity has reached a significant milestone in GSMA Open Gateway deployment by entering a strategic partnership with Google Cloud and expanding its mobile network operator (MNO) partnerships worldwide. This achievement marks the successful transition of Open Gateway from experimental phase to practical reality, establishing a new standard in telecommunications services
