While physiological biometrics rely on physical features to prove identity, such as fingerprint, facial, or retina scans — behavioral biometrics analyze how a human behaves. It takes into account the unique way each user interacts with their device, analyzing the way they type, how they move their mouse, hold their phone, and more.
Because behavioral biometrics work passively in the background, it can be used to provide secure continuous authentication and two-factor authentication without compromising the user experience.
Unlike physiological biometrics like fingerprints, voice, or facial recognition, behavioral patterns are nearly impossible to capture and replicate for malicious use.
Behavioral biometrics leverage existing hardware like a keyboard and mouse, avoiding expensive sensors or biometric scanners to authenticate users.
