                     Biometric Usability 
Lessons
Introduction:
 Now a days people are 
looking for safety and 
security while buying any 
device.
 So makers are more focused 
towards security and privacy

Types of Biometrics:
 DNA Matching
 Face Recognition
 Finger print recognition

 Palm print Identification
  Iris recognition
Finding 1:
 All devices are not same 
 Usability of biometrics depends upon the 
device type. As all devices are not equal, 
biometric experience will be different for all 
devices.
 Example : Some devices have finger print 
identification where as some have face Image source – Google  Images
recognition as the means of biometric 
usability.
Finding 2:
 Security of biometrics details
 The details of biometrics is the digital data that 
can be stored in the device and in some cases on 
the end user’s device.

Finding 3:
 Add alternate for biometric 
authentication:
 It is best practice to  keep an alternate option for  
biometric usability of users in order make sure of

Finding 4:
 Multiple authentication for a single devices:

Finding 5:
 Adding and Enabling biometric 
identification
 There is a difference between adding and 
enabling the finger print.
 Be clear about both the cases. First you Image source – Google  Images
need to register the finger print and then 
enabling it in App setting option.
