Fingerprint as a Security Key
IDmelon supports the use of biometric authentication—specifically fingerprints—as a FIDO2 security key. This method offers strong, user-friendly authentication while eliminating the need for passwords.
Prerequisites
To use a fingerprint as a security key, ensure the following:
- A compatible fingerprint reader is connected to the user’s PC.
- The IDmelon Fingerprint Driver is downloaded and installed from the IDmelon website.
Supported Scenarios
Fingerprint-based security keys are well suited for users who want a biometric sign-in experience on managed workstations with compatible hardware.
This option provides a user-friendly authentication experience while keeping the security key tied to the workstation setup and the supported fingerprint hardware.
