Using biometric authentication

If your device supports biometric authentication, you can turn on biometric authentication for Bria after the first successful log in.

Prerequisites

  • Your device supports biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint sensor
  • You have set up a biometric profile on your Android device

If you do not have biometric authentication set up on your device or if your device does not support biometric authentication, Settings > Preferences – Android OS Support > Use biometric credentials to authenticate does not show.

Enabling biometric authentication

If you enable biometric authentication, any biometric profiles stored on your device can be used to log in to Bria. Do not store profiles other than your own on your device.

  1. Turn Settings > Preferences – Additional > Use biometric credentials to authenticate on.

The next time you log in, you can choose to use biometric login or to manually enter your login credentials.

  2. Place your finger on the sensor, or hold your device in front of your face.

If your fingerprint or face is a match, Bria opens.

  2. Tap Use Password.

    The "Use Password" button is on "Confirm fingerprint to continue".

If your biometric log in fails, adjust your fingerprint as necessary or tap Use Password to log in manually.
