By enabling biometrics, the login process can be streamlined for the Community Connect Mobile application. Biometrics authentication is used in mobile applications as a form of identification and access control. Turning on biometrics in the mobile application will allow users to simply use their devices features and skip the manual login process.

| Note |
|---|
- Before biometrics can be turned on the user's device must support some form of biometric identification (fingerprint scanner, facial recognition).
- It is NOT suggested to enable biometric functions on devices used by multiple people as this could give people access to other Community Connect users.
- When a user resets or changes their password they will need to re-enter their password at login before the biometric functions can be used again.
