With Biometric approval requests, you can easily request and obtain approvals from anywhere, at any time, all within the secure Qwil platform. There's no need for additional applications; everything happens right within the chat.
A biometric approval request is a secure and efficient method for obtaining consent or authorisation from a person, where the approval is confirmed using biometric data. Instead of traditional methods like signatures or passwords, biometric approval relies on unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition to authenticate the user's identity. This ensures a higher level of security and reduces the risk of identity fraud or unauthorised access. Biometric approval requests are commonly used in digital transactions, document signing, and other sensitive processes that require an extra layer of verification and trust.
