Biometric login is revolutionising online security by using unique physical or behavioural traits for authentication. This identification technology provides a secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords, enhancing user experience and data protection.

How Does Biometric Login Work?

A biometric login uses advanced technology to scan and verify a user’s unique characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, or voice patterns. The process involves capturing the biometric data, encrypting it, and comparing it with stored data for authentication.

Benefits of Biometric Login

  1. Enhanced Security: Biometric traits are difficult to replicate, reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
  2. Convenience: Users can log in quickly without the need to remember complex passwords.
  3. Improved User Experience: Seamless authentication processes enhance customer satisfaction.

Applications of Biometric Login

Biometric login is widely used in various industries, including:

  • Banking and Finance: Securely accessing accounts and authorising transactions.
  • Healthcare: Protecting sensitive patient information.
  • E-commerce: Simplifying login processes and enhancing security.
