Desktop
It is a verification method used to confirm a user's identity by executing the verification flow through the desktop application. This process typically involves guiding users through steps on their desktop to verify their identity securely and accurately.
Every application execution requires an Onboarding and Verification workflow. The onboarding workflow (can be any) will be used for a new user. You can configure it as "None" for a user who has already been onboarded. Please note that selecting the "None" option for the onboarding workflow will automatically redirect the user to the verification workflow, irrespective of the users availability.
