Can Progressive Web Apps utilize device biometrics for user authentication?
Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can utilize device biometrics for user authentication. PWAs are web applications that offer a native app-like experience on any platform or device, including mobile devices. They can access native device capabilities using APIs, and one such capability is biometric authentication. By utilizing the Web Authentication API, PWAs can leverage device biometrics like fingerprint or face recognition to authenticate users securely. This provides a convenient and frictionless user experience by eliminating the need for traditional authentication methods like passwords. However, support for biometric authentication may vary across devices and browsers, so developers should check for compatibility and provide fallback options if required.
