Security News > 2022 > August > Alternatives to facial recognition authentication

We'll look at why companies are concerned about facial recognition as well as some alternatives that are both secure and friendly towards employees' concerns.

The most common alternative to facial recognition would be two-factor authentication using an app such as Authy or Google Authenticator.

For higher security and flexibility, multi-factor authentication solutions are an alternative to facial recognition as well.

This allows for varied authentication methods that also include biometrics such as facial recognition if desired.

For some companies which have already implemented facial recognition or have compliance requirements that include facial recognition, this approach allows them to still meet those while allowing other users less stringent access.

Hardware authentication can provide the speed and ease of use of facial recognition but without the privacy issues surrounding biometric data storage.
