Hongi uses dual rotating codewords to let two people verify each other's identity — in any conversation, on any channel. Pair in person via QR or remotely via invite link. Suspect an impersonator? Send a silent verification ping. No accounts. Just cryptographic certainty.
Free. No account required.
Verify anyone's identity in four simple steps — in person or remotely.
Scan a QR code in person, or send an invite link to pair remotely — your choice.
Each person gets a unique rotating codeword that changes every 30 seconds.
In any conversation — phone, video, or in person — read your word. They read theirs.
If both codewords match, you know it's really them. An impersonator can't know both sides.
Hongi works wherever identity matters — any channel, any situation.
Verify the person on the other end is who they claim to be — not a spoofed number or deepfake voice.
Confirm identity before sharing sensitive info, even when video can be faked with AI.
Verify someone you haven't seen in a while — or confirm a new contact is who they say.
When a contact reaches out with an unusual request, verify before you act.
When something feels off, send a silent verification ping to your real contact — they get a push notification and confirm or deny. No codewords needed, the caller never knows.
Hongi's wordlists are curated in multiple languages — so codewords feel natural to you.
Available on iOS and Android. No account required — just install, pair, and verify.
