Biometric login uses device-managed biometrics without collecting them
A mobile device may permit fingerprint, facial recognition, or similar biometric technology to log in. When enabled, Online Services can see the preference and that verification occurred through the mobile device and may permit access; Highmark does not access or collect actual biometrics, which the mobile device manufacturer manages and maintains.
