In these FAQs, the terms biometric identification and biometric security mean your phone or tablet's method for unlocking the device using your fingerprint or facial image instead of a password or PIN.
The Total Connect app offers the option of using the same biometric identification for log-in. You can continue logging in to the app with a password if you prefer.
NOTES
- Biometric security options appear only on devices with the required hardware and software.
- Configuring biometric security on your device and enabling the Total Connect app to use biometric security are two different things.
- For initial setup of biometric security on the device itself, refer to the Help resources available from the device manufacturer or your cellular carrier.
- These instructions assume that a face or fingerprint is already set up to unlock your device in the device's Settings.
To enable biometric security in the Total Connect app, take these steps:
- Launch the app and log in.
- The Security screen will ask Use biometric sign-in?
- The app will ask you to select the face scan or fingerprint you previously set up for unlocking your device.
- Next, the app requests confirmation that you want to use this identification method with Total Connect.
- Touch the Confirm button and login continues.
