About Fingerlogin
From the official readme · v2.0Description
Forget passwords and turn on biometric user login!
The plugin turns WordPress into an Fingerlogin endpoint adding a login button on your wordpress login form.
This can be used to act as an authentication mechanism for WordPress and its REST API, as well as an identity mechanism for other sites.
It uses server-to-server calls from fingerlogin.it and a smartphone app (ANDROID) to identify the user or your website domain.
You can install this plugin to enable web sign-in and registration for your site using your domain.
WARNING
