Biometrics.: D97-1/00-019-2020E-PDF

"Biometrics refers to the measurement and use of your unique body characteristics (e.g. fingerprints, retinas, facial structure, speech, or vein patterns). For example, you can use your fingerprint as a form of authentication to unlock your mobile device. If using your biometrics for authentication, we recommend using them with a password or PIN for an added layer of protection (i.e. multi-factor authentication). Biometrics come with advantages and disadvantages, as well as security vulnerabilities that are outlined in this document"--Page [1].
