iOS Components v3.0.1

The Biometric Authentication component now supports the authentication of the end user via password rather than passcode. The password is used in two scenarios related to biometrics:

  1. As a pre-requisite to biometrics enrollment, to authenticate the user for the first time
  2. As a fall-back method of authenticating the user if biometrics fails (e.g. fingerprint not recognized)

1. Pre-requisites​

Configure Weavr Authentication to "Password" in the embedder portalEmbedder PortalA web-based portal where embedders manage their Weavr account: browse customers and instruments, configure programmes, find API credentials and profile IDs, run Sandbox simulations, and inspect webhook deliveries. Sandbox and Live are separate, with their own credentials and data.. If necessary, this can be applied for you in sandbox by Weavr support.

Integrate to the Password Component to authenticate the user for the first time; see password component documentation.

2. Fall-back authentication method​

If during biometric login, biometrics fails (e.g. fingerprint not recognized), the SDK will automatically provide a screen for the user to authenticate via the alternative method of their password.
