Biometric authentication is a phrase used to describe the use of a human characteristic to perform authentication. With SafeNet MobilePASS+, the human characteristic (biometric PIN) can be a fingerprint, face, iris, or other characteristic supported by your device. A biometric PIN provides a convenient way to access the SafeNet MobilePASS+ app and tokens using a sensor on your device.

To use a biometric PIN to access SafeNet MobilePASS+:
- The biometric sensor must be activated on your device.
- Your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token must be configured by your system administrator to allow the use of a biometric PIN.

Enable and disable the biometric PIN

To change the setting for biometric PINs on a SafeNet MobilePASS+ token:

1. Open the SafeNet MobilePASS+ app.

2. Select the settings icon on the token.

3. Slide the Enable Biometrics toggle to the right to enable biometric PINs.

   

If you disable biometrics, you must enter a PIN when you re-enable biometrics.

Log on to a token with a biometric PIN

If the token has been configured to work with a biometric PIN, each time you are required to enter a PIN, you will be prompted to use your biometric authenticator (for example, your finger, face, or iris).

To log on to the token with your biometric authenticator:

1. Use the biometric sensor on your device.

   

To log on to the token with a PIN after being prompted for a biometric authenticator:

1. Select Use PIN instead.

2. Enter your PIN and then select Go.

   

3. To switch to using biometrics for authentication, select the fingerprint icon .
