# Introduce 3DS support for verifications

As of version `2025-01`, payments extensions that support vaulting will now be able to process 3DS challenges for verifications. That is possible through :

* A new mutation, `VerificationSessionRedirect`
* New arguments to the existing `VerificationSessionResolve` and `VerificationSessionReject` mutations.

If 3DS is required for a verification, you must use the `VerificationSessionRedirect` mutation. When resolving or rejecting a verification that required 3DS, pass the authentication argument to either the `VerificationSessionResolve` or `VerificationSessionReject` mutation.

We're also deprecating the following `VerificationSessionStateReason`: `REQUIRED_3DS_CHALLENGE` . Use the new `VerificationSessionRedirect` mutation instead.

For payments extensions that support vaulting, we strongly recommend you to update it to the `2025-01` version as soon as possible.
