Hey HN! I’m Lukas Dickie the founder of Changefly and I’m truly excited to share with you our latest release of Changefly ID with Anonymized Identity & Age Verification.

By putting privacy first and using a novel approach to account protection, Changefly ID offers a path to a safer, more secure, and less-intrusive internet for everyone:

- Changefly ID for anonymous authentication + ANONYMIZED identity & age verification for services that are required to verify minimum age

- Zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, temporary unique identifiers

- Protects against bot attacks, bot scraping, identity theft, phishing, credential stuffing, online tracking, and other evolving threats

Changefly ID + Anonymized Identity & Age Verification is like showing a bartender a “Yes, I’m over 21” hologram badge instead of handing them your driver’s license with your name, address, and birthdate. They get what they need—but none of what they shouldn’t have.

We’re just getting started and I’d love to hear what you think, what you’d like to see next, and any feedback you have.

What is the enrolment process for users that want to prove an attribute or credential?

Great question, commandersaki. Here is the two-step enrollment process for users that want to prove an attribute or credential:

1. User gets their Changefly ID through the Changefly app (free)

2. User verifies their identity anonymously (https://www.changefly.com/account/verify)

For developers:

Can you elaborate without me having to install an app. What does "verifying [sic] their identity anonymously" actually entail. I think that's what most of us want to know, and that's what is not adequately explained anywhere on your site.

Sure no problem:

- Changefly ID is the core technology for anonymous authentication (https://www.changefly.com/our-research). Changefly ID requires zero PII.

- Optionally, if a service requires identity / age verification, we just released Anonymous Identity & Age Verification for Changefly ID (https://www.changefly.com/blog/2025/08/anonymized-identity-a...).

- You can verify your identity for free: https://www.changefly.com/account/verify

- Developers can verify Changefly ID’s and/or age requirement checks with our open API: https://www.changefly.com/developer
