Biometric Login & Authentication

Biometric Login & Authentication Extension for Magento 2 enables store owners to improve customer account security by allowing password-less login using modern biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint scanning and facial recognition. Instead of entering login credentials every time, customers can securely access their Magento accounts using device-based biometric authentication supported by modern browsers.

This extension integrates Web Authentication (WebAuthn) technology into Magento’s native customer login functionality. Customers can register their biometric credentials once through their browser, after which future logins can be completed instantly using fingerprint or face recognition. The biometric authentication interface appears directly within the Magento login process, enhancing both the UI and UX by reducing login friction while maintaining strong account security.

The extension does not store biometric data on the Magento server. Authentication is handled securely at the browser and device level, ensuring encrypted credential validation and eliminating risks associated with password theft or reuse. Admin users can configure authentication behavior directly from the Magento admin panel and enable user-specific biometric login for enhanced protection.

This extension is ideal for:

• Stores handling sensitive customer data
• Mobile-first eCommerce websites
• Stores aiming to improve login security
• Merchants looking to provide faster login experiences
• Businesses wanting to reduce password-related security risks

SSL Requirement

Biometric authentication using WebAuthn works only on secure HTTPS connections. This extension requires a valid SSL certificate to be enabled on the Magento store’s frontend URL.

WebAuthn-based fingerprint and facial recognition authentication will function only when the site is accessed over HTTPS. Biometric login will not work on non-secure HTTP environments.

Please ensure that:

• SSL is enabled for the storefront URL
• The site is accessible over HTTPS
• Secure Base URL is configured in Magento

This is a browser-level security requirement for biometric authentication and is necessary for proper extension functionality.
