WooCommerce Biometric Login 1.0.3 – Fingerprint Web Authentication (WebAuthn)
Description
WooCommerce Biometric Login is a WooCommerce plugin that lets customers sign in using biometric authentication through WebAuthn, such as fingerprint or facial recognition. It solves a common login problem: password-based sign-ins can be harder to manage and easier to compromise through leaked credentials. By moving authentication to device-supported biometrics, it adds an extra security layer while keeping the sign-in process fast and convenient. The plugin integrates with your existing WooCommerce customer account flow and fits well alongside WordPress and Elementor-built pages. It’s designed to be scalable for different store sizes, with setup guided by WebAuthn-capable browser and operating system support.
