Biometrics are a group of digital security methods that rely on biological or physiological attributes, used to prevent data breaches such as credit card hacks or unauthorized log-ins. Biometrics uses criteria that is physically unique to an individual that can prove their identity, such as a fingerprint or voice pattern, rather than relying on passwords or PIN codes that can be more easily hacked or stolen.
