biometric login

Scan to enter

Biometric login is authentication using physical characteristics—fingerprint, face, iris, or voice—instead of passwords.

The method trades something you know for something you are: My phone uses biometric login so I just look at it to unlock.

Most smartphones now offer biometric login as standard, though a PIN typically serves as backup.
