Biometric Identifier Technology
Q. What is a Biometric Identifier?
A. A biometric identifier is a distinctive and measurable human characteristic that can be used to label and describe any individual. A biometric identifier includes, but is not limited to, fingerprint, face, voice, iris, retina and handwritten signature - as long as the identifier is unique for the individual.
Q. Can I use my biometric identifier to log into the Mobile App?
A. Yes, provided you are using an eligible device with the biometric identifier technology, you have the feature turned on in your device settings, and you are logging into our Mobile App.
Q. How does the biometric identifier technology work?
A. Biometric identifier technology provides an alternative method to logging into our mobile App. Once set up, you will use your biometric identifier to login instead of entering your Password.
Q. If my biometric identifier is not recognized, can I still log on to my account?
A. Yes. You can still log on to the App using your Sign-On ID and Password.
Q. Can I use the biometric identifier technology to log on if I have other people's biometric identifiers stored on my device?
A. When you enable the biometric identifier log on, any biometric identifier stored on your device - now or in the future - can be used to log on to the App. Enabling biometric identifier technology on an Eligible Mobile Device you share with another person is strongly discouraged. You should only enable the biometric identifier feature if you are the only person who has registered biometric identifiers on your device. You can always add or remove a biometric identifier in your device settings.
