Overview
Biometrics
Weavr provides Biometric Authentication capabilities that can be embedded into your mobile app for secure authentication of end-users via the biometrics feature in their phone.
What is it used for?
After initial enrolment, Biometric Authentication combines two authentication factors; biometry, via fingerprint or face recognition, considered as one factor ("inherence" / "something you are''), and the phone’s enrolled device-Id for the second factor ("possession"/ "something you own").
Who is it for?
Integration to the Biometrics Authentication component is available for any embedded finance programme delivered via a mobile app (iOS, Android, React Native), that already has a baseline SCA solution implemented (via SMS OTP).
How does it work ?
Below illustrates the high-level process flow of a login flow using biometrics. Full details, and an explanation of the steps can be found in the respective section for each framework.
Environment set up
To configure your programme at Weavr to work correctly with the Biometric Authentication component, please refer to the Environment set up section.
