Worldcoin also announced on the same day that a feature called ‘Sign in with Worldcoin’ is now available via an electronic marketplace called Auth0. This feature is similar to things like “Sign in with Google” and “Sign in with Apple.” Now, when an app or service supports this feature, users will be able to sign in and log in with their World ID.

Worldcoin claims that the availability of this feature in electronic marketplaces has two benefits. The first is that “app and service providers now have access to a powerful solution that protects them from bots and proves that their users are human.”

Another advantage is that users can now protect their privacy when using apps and services without revealing unnecessary personal information. World ID attaches great importance to the protection of privacy.

The product manager of “Tools For Humanity (TFH)”, which develops tools for the Worldcoin project, commented to “The Block” as follows.
