Clear Secure partnering with Microsoft on identity verification solution

LinkedIn, a Microsoft (MSFT) company, and Clear Secure (YOU) announced that they are "partnering to enhance digital safety and trust by empowering LinkedIn users to verify their identity with CLEAR for free." The companies stated in a press release: "On the LinkedIn app, a member can affirm their identity with the Powered by CLEAR platform, creating a visible indicator proving the member’s identity has been verified by CLEAR. This partnership provides consumers and businesses with additional comfort that the people they encounter on LinkedIn are real and represented authentically. Beginning this month, LinkedIn’s nearly 200 million U.S.-based members will have the option to verify their identity with CLEAR, using their government-issued ID and a selfie. Existing CLEAR users will simply be prompted to snap a selfie to verify their LinkedIn account." Reference Link
