WooCommerce Biometric Login Plugin Documentation
Jun
WooCommerce Biometric Login is a cutting-edge plugin that provides a secure and convenient login experience for your online store customers. With this plugin, customers can log into their accounts using biometric authentication, such as fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.
One of the key benefits of the plugin is its security. Biometric authentication is much more secure than traditional password-based login methods, as it uses unique physical characteristics to confirm a customer’s identity. This means that even if a password is compromised, the customer’s biometric information remains secure, providing an extra layer of protection for both the customer and the online store.
Another important feature of WooCommerce Biometric Login is its convenience. By allowing customers to log in using their biometrics, this plugin saves them time and effort, and eliminates the need for them to remember passwords or usernames. This can lead to a more positive customer experience, and can help to improve customer engagement and conversions.
This plugin uses WebAuthn which is a next-generation network authentication technology designed to make network authentication more efficient and secure by replacing the password with USB authenticators, fingerprint recognition, Windows Hello compatible cameras and more.
As a user, you don’t have to care about the technical details behind WebAuthn. Just install and enable this plugin and you can experience the latest web authentication technology on your WooCommerce store.
In the past, U2F devices such as USB authenticators were often used as “second-factor authenticators,” which means they were just a second barrier after passwords. Now, with WebAuthn, we can use a larger range of authenticators, including U2F devices, to replace passwords and make the authentication process more efficient without compromising security.
To use WebAuthn, you need to determine if your device supports it. The latest version of browsers and operating systems generally support WebAuthn, so consider updating your browser and operating system if you find that you cannot use WebAuthn properly.
In addition to its security and convenience, WooCommerce Biometric Login is also highly scalable, making it a great option for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re looking to grow your business, this plugin provides a secure and convenient login experience that can help you to achieve your goals.
So why wait? If you’re looking to improve the customer experience on your online store, and provide a secure and convenient login experience for your customers, WooCommerce Biometric Login is the perfect solution. Try it today and see how it can transform your business!
