Overview​

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 enrolment, 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 recognised)

1. Pre-requisites​

Configure Weavr Authentication to "Password" in the embedder portal. 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 recognised), the SDK will automatically provide a screen for the user to authenticate via the alternative method of their password.
