Identity and the Vault
Not every capability described on this wiki is available today.
Quick answer
Vault is the Mitra OS module for verified identity. Sign-in is passwordless and tied to your device, and sensitive actions ask for a fresh biometric confirmation.
Summary
Identity is the foundation the other modules build on. Vault holds verified identity, sign-in uses passkeys bound to your device, and the platform asks you to confirm consequential actions again before they happen.
Key takeaways
- Vault is the identity module in Mitra OS.
- Sign-in is passwordless and device-bound.
- Sensitive actions require a fresh biometric step-up.
- Identity is verified so providers can trust who is asking.
What Vault does
Vault is where verified identity lives in Mitra OS. Messaging, finance, travel and other modules rely on it, so a request is tied to a verified member rather than an anonymous session.
How you sign in
Sign-in uses passkeys stored on your device. There is no password to steal or reuse.
When Mitra asks again
For money, health data and irreversible bookings, Mitra asks for step-up confirmation.
