Number of Attempts	Define the maximum number of attempts allowed for the liveness check. The limit is set to 5 attempts.
One-shot Liveness	A quick, single-step verification process.
3D Liveness	Advanced verification using 3D imaging technology.
Custom 3D Liveness	Combine various actions (e.g., eye movement, smile) for a more robust check.
Style Customization	Customize the UI to match your brand's look and feel.
Verification Validity Period	This setting defines how long a successful verification result remains valid. Enforce re-verification after a defined time window for security or compliance needs.

Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.elkyc.com/home/build-verification-flows/verification-steps/liveness.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
