Biometric Authentication

Biometric authentication uses unique physical or behavioral traits to verify identity. Common methods include fingerprint, face, and voice recognition.

Banks use biometrics for login, payment authorization, and fraud prevention, especially for digital wallets. Biometric data is typically stored securely and paired with device-level security.
