Biometric authentication

Home » Glossary Terms » Biometric authentication

Biometric authentication verifies identity using unique biological traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans. It enhances security by eliminating passwords and is resistant to phishing. Integrated into Zero Trust, it ensures continuous identity verification, preventing unauthorized access. Keycloak supports biometric authentication through WebAuthn, enabling secure, passwordless login with fingerprint and facial recognition on compatible devices.
