To guarantee an additional level of security, it is possible to activate biometric authentication on the mobile application.

To activate this feature, navigate to the administration panel, specifically in the security tab.

Click on the switch on the right to enable biometric authentication.

When this feature is active, the mobile application will prompt the user for access to the biometric authentication module of their smartphone.

In all cases, the user will also be required to enter a five-digit PIN code. This will be requested if the smartphone lacks a biometric module or if the biometric module fails to authenticate the user correctly (for instance, if the user is wearing gloves).

Once this is set up, similar to banking applications, the user will need to authenticate either through the configured biometric method or by entering their five-digit PIN code each time the application is launched.

Therefore, even if the user's smartphone is stolen while unlocked, a malicious individual will not be able to access the content of the Elium platform.
