Biometric Authentication is a security method that verifies a person’s identity using unique physical traits such as fingerprint, iris scan, or facial recognition.

How It Works

Use Cases

Widely used in Aadhaar-based payments, mobile banking, UPI logins, and to unlock secure apps and devices.

Benefit

Eliminates the need to remember passwords and offers a highly secure and user-friendly way to verify identity.
