A fingerprint scanner captures the unique patterns of an individual's fingerprint for verification purposes. This method provides a secure means of authentication because it is difficult to replicate or forge a person's fingerprint.
Other options might refer to devices that do not provide biometric verification, such as keypad entry, which relies on memorized passwords and is less secure by comparison.
