Exploring Persistent Face ID Verification Issues as an OnlyFans Creator

Recently, I have faced a new and puzzling challenge with my OnlyFans account, prompting a need for constant re-verification of facial identification. Every time I open the app to interact with my fans or manage my content, the system asks me to verify my face, even when logging in from the same device I've always used. This has been a perplexing change after over a year of smooth sailing.

Understanding the Scope of the Issue

This isn't an isolated incident. Several other creators have reported similar disruptions. Some of us have had to undergo multiple face scans within a 24-hour period, drastically affecting our ability to send pay-per-view messages, direct messages, or perform any regular function on our pages. The continual return to the homepage after each attempt has only added to the frustration, turning what should be a simple process into a repetitive loop.

Possible Explanations and Community Feedback

Interactions with OnlyFans support have yet to shed light on a specific cause. However, some users speculate that recent changes in state laws regarding age and identity verification might be influencing this new requirement. While this could explain the increased security measures, the inconsistency of its application—where some new and existing accounts are exempt—adds confusion to the mix.

Moreover, the suggestion to utilize a VPN was made by a fellow creator, believing that it might circumvent what seems to be jurisdictionally imposed barriers. Unfortunately, even this method has not proven foolproof, as others using VPNs continue to face the same verification obstacles.

Temporary Solutions and Ongoing Support

  • While the community seeks more definitive answers from OnlyFans support, small workarounds, such as selecting the "remember me for 30 days" option, might offer temporary relief.
  • The effectiveness of potential fixes like using a VPN seems to vary considerably among individuals and regions, suggesting a more complex underlying issue.

Looking Forward

As creators who rely on OnlyFans for connections and livelihood, consistent technical disruptions can pose significant challenges. The lack of clarity and support from OnlyFans support is especially troubling given the platform's scale and the potential impact on user experience and income.

We are eager for a resolution that respects both the regulatory requirements and the operational needs of content creators. A more transparent dialogue between OnlyFans and its user base would greatly enhance our ability to navigate these challenges effectively and ensure that we can continue to provide value to our fans without unnecessary hurdles.
