Biometric identification from a print made by an impression of a finger, and is often used as an authentication device to record unique attributes to authenticate access to electronic assets. The same biometric identification technique can be used to develop a Login API similar to Facebook and Google +. Biometric recognition provides a strong link between an individual and a claimed identity. This could be the highest security level and 100% authentic data. There is very little or no chance of imitation of data in this form.

While a traditional PIN, pattern or password is an effective security feature, there’s no denying that requiring the user to input a password does add some friction to the user experience. Touching your fingertip to a sensor is far easier than entering a PIN, pattern or password, making fingerprint authentication an effective way of striking a balance between keeping your users safe and providing a frictionless user experience.

You can not forget a fingerprint. Most of us have a long list of passwords we need to remember on a day-to-day basis. Fingerprint authentication can provide your users with all the security of a password, without actually adding to the list of passwords they need to remember on a day-to-day basis. No more annoying password recovery or reset. Forgetting a password for a Mobile App can be particularly painful as users tend to interact with mobile apps on the go. If you’re out and about then the last thing you want to do is sit down and navigate an app’s password recovery or reset procedure. By adding fingerprint authentication to your app, you can ensure that your users never have to see your app’s password recovery or reset screens again.

The concept of Biometric Identification came about because there are many app ideas coming into the market that require single participation from any individual. This concept will perfectly serve the purpose. Not only that, but any company providing a mobile app service or even a web application using a fingerprint scanner can use it. All of this can be achieved with a device with fingerprint scanner on any mobile or web application. This function is slowly getting into the market as a feature to a mobile handset. It is starting to gain attention and picking up demand from users. Once this feature is available in the market, implementation of this concept can be marketed for other companies to be used as an API.

Present day scenario is that the only available API for this concept is by using the Aadhar Card. By getting the fingerprint biometrics from them and validating it will help the work process faster. The only shortcoming to this is the total cost for the project, which is highly expensive. To develop an API of this kind takes about one and a half month. Once it is developed, the initial stage to get started would be registration. During registration, fingerprint biometrics is compulsory. After which the API, will have a feature of using other methods of accessing the app. For example, one can use data like, their name, date of birth, email address, passwords, lock patterns, etc.

The API can be used for any technology, from the IOS to Android. To use the system, one needs to purchase the API and configure it with their Apps. The process is simple and works efficiently with a generation that is constantly racing against time. Your fingerprint is unique and impossible to guess. Even if your users follow best practices for creating a secure password, there’s no guarantee that someone won’t be able to guess their password anyway, or even manipulate the user’s device into leaking their password via tools such as spyware. While nothing is ever 100% secure, a fingerprint cannot be guessed or stolen in the same way a password can.

There is a wide range of ways that you can use this kind of single-touch identification to improve the user experience from adding an extra layer of security to your in-app payments, to providing an easy way to lock and unlock sensitive areas of your app, or even removing the need for users to their password every time they want to use your app. Kaavay through its Web and Mobile development services can help you with your security.
