Purpose
Liquid UI for iOS now supports the most advanced secure authentication process with the Biometric lock feature. This feature authenticates your users' identity before they edit or connect to your SAP Server and thus protecting data from any unauthorized access. Once configured, this feature allows your users to log into your SAP either using their face or their fingerprint instead of entering their username and password.
Biometric Lock provides you a two-factor authentication process where users confirm their identity by either of the following options:
- Touch ID
- Face ID
The Biometric feature is implemented at the SAP connection level, so on enabling this feature, users can’t connect to their SAP server or even see their SAP connection details without confirming their identity.
Prerequisites
- Check the device hardware for biometric authentication support for a fingerprint or facial recognition.
- Make sure to register with a fingerprint recognition system or facial recognition system on your device to use the Biometric feature.
