# Biometric Authentication

Enhance user experience and security with device-native biometric authentication powered by [WebAuthn](/content/articles/authentication/webauthn-explained/index.html).

## WebAuthn Made Easy

WebAuthn is the W3C and Fido Alliance standard that allows desktop and mobile browsers to authenticate users with built-in device biometrics.

## Security

WebAuthn biometrics offer a stronger, more user-friendly authentication solution. By leveraging device-native features like fingerprint or facial recognition, WebAuthn eliminates the need for complex passwords and provides robust protection against malicious threats like phishing and account takeover.

## Device Native Authentication

FusionAuth prompts the user to log in with the same device-native authentication that they use to unlock their devices. And if device biometrics aren't available, you can fall back to other passwordless options like magic links.
