Currently, you can use biometrics to confirm transactions using Status desktop on macOS.
Using biometrics provides a second method for securing your profile and Wallet accounts. You can use your biometrics (fingerprint, face or other) to confirm security-sensitive actions, such as sending a transaction or logging in to your Status profile.
Enabling biometrics increases the possibility of restoring access to your funds and Status profile when accidents happen, such as forgetting your password or losing your Keycard.
To use biometric authentication in Status, you must first set up biometrics on your device.
Unless you use Status desktop on macOS, Status requires your password to confirm transactions even if you have enabled biometrics.
After you enable biometrics, it becomes the default method for authentication. However, you can still choose to use your password or Keycard when logging in to your profile.
