What is Biometric Auth?
capacitor-biometric-auth is a Capacitor plugin that provides a unified JavaScript API for accessing native biometric authentication systems on iOS and Android, including Touch ID, Face ID, fingerprint, face, and iris recognition. It solves the problem of securely authenticating users in cross-platform mobile apps while handling platform differences, device credential fallbacks, and availability changes. The plugin also includes a web simulator to test authentication logic without native hardware.
Mobile developers building cross-platform apps with Capacitor who need to integrate secure, native biometric authentication with support for iOS, Android, and web testing scenarios.
Developers choose this plugin for its comprehensive platform coverage, detailed error handling, and ability to simulate biometrics on the web—enabling consistent authentication logic across all platforms without sacrificing native capabilities or requiring extensive platform-specific code.
