fingerprint scan
Touch-based identity check
A fingerprint scan is the digital capture and analysis of the unique ridge patterns on a fingertip, used for identification or authentication.
Fingerprint scans unlock phones, verify identity at borders, and grant access to secure systems: The laptop requires a fingerprint scan to log in.
The technology has largely replaced typed passwords for everyday device security.
