Verify with biometrics

POST/login_via_biometrics

Signs in a user with biometrics instead of a password. Pass the email they enrolled with; if it matches, Weavr sends a push notification to their enrolled device asking them to authenticate biometrically.

Because the user has already completed a second factor, the token you get back is stepped up. You can use it straight away for endpoints and UI components that require step-up, with no separate step-up challenge.

The device must have been enrolled beforehand through /authentication_factors/push/{channel}. For the password flow, see Sign in with a password.
