Access a Mobile Device’s Biometrics Capabilities

A Lightning web component can use a device’s biometrics functionality to prompt a user to confirm their identity. When these biometrics-related actions occur, the result is returned to the Lightning web component that invoked it.

Biometrics checks are managed locally on the mobile device, and don't need a network connection. However, BiometricsService requires access to platform-specific APIs that are available only within compatible Salesforce mobile apps.

BiometricsService does not and cannot function when running in a web browser, whether on a desktop or mobile device.
