Confirm.io a product startup which expertizes in identity management has been acquired officially by Facebook, this news was disclosed on their official website confirm.io

They said:

We’re excited to announce that we have agreed to be acquired by Facebook! This is the culmination of three years of hard work building technology that will keep people safe and secure online. When we launched Confirm, our mission was to become the market’s trusted identity origination platform for which other multifactor verification services can build upon. Now, we’re ready to take the next step on our journey with Facebook. However, in the meantime this means all of our current digital ID authentication software offerings will be wound down.

The social media giant confirmed the same to the Techcrunch team,

What Confirm.io Does ?

It has their inbuilt API to verify users identity based on government issued records and help to find the authentication of the same. Facebook may use it to keep track of their user who were locked out of their platform to keep the record of the same. What else is in their sleeves is still not clear and everything is under the cloud for the moment for everyone to speculate, let’s hope it will ease our life in some valuable way.

Will keep you all updated as more relevant info comes out.
