Biometric Devices

Biometric devices scan and remember unique aspects of various body parts,

such as your iris, face, head image, or fingerprint, using some form of sensing

device. This information is used as a key to prevent unauthorized people from

accessing whatever the biometric device is securing. Both macOS and

Windows 10 have built-in support for using biometrics like fingerprint

scanners (see Figure 10-22) and facial recognition to secure user accounts.

Windows uses Windows Hello to manage biometric authentication; in Figure

10-23, I’m training my system to recognize my face using a Windows Hello–

compatible infrared camera.
