Could biometric based security make passwords obsolete?

Voice biometrics, fingerprints, iris scans, and other authentication options are beginning to replace passwords as a means to verify a user’s identity and simplify the login process when banking online or via a mobile device. The key is to provide enhanced security against hackers while improving the overall user experience.

With Cybercrime on the rise, leading major tech firms are in a big effort to invest in biometric security methods.

According to Home Land Security News Wire, Samsung has now introduced its own fingerprint scanner. Qualcomm recently unveiled its 3D fingerprint technology, which is now being built into the chips of many of its devices.
