The Unique Identification Authority of India has decided to enable face authentication from July 1 this year.
An official statement said that face authentication will be enabled in ‘fusion mode’ on registered devices so that people facing difficulty in other biometric authentication (fingerprint and Iris) could easily authenticate.
According to the statement, face authentication provides additional option for all residents to have inclusive authentication. It shall be allowed only in fusion mode along with one more authentication factor combined with either fingerprint or Iris or one time password to be able to successfully authenticate an Aadhaar number holder. Face authentication shall also be allowed on a need basis.
This facility is going to help in inclusive authentication of those who are not able to biometrically authenticate due to their worn out fingerprints, old age or hard work conditions, the statement added.
Currently UIDAI provides two modes of biometric authentication i.e. fingerprint authentication and iris authentication. While most of the residents are able to authenticate using fingerprint or iris authentication, some residents face difficulty in successfully using biometric authentication using one of the modalities.
