Adding Fingerprint Or Face Recognition To Your .NET MAUI App

Want to build your own plugin? Just a matter of minutes with this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHS0o599iZyAnqs

We need a serverside push notification video for MAUI 😊

[@jfversluis]

Will Azure Notification Hub work?

[@rostadeveloper]

Please, make a video dedicated for cancellation tokens! ^^ I am waiting for it 6 months.. 😂

[@jfversluis]

Oops I hoped no one would have noticed that I asked before 🫣

[@tanakamawere]

Same

[@theshiva5020]

this is the exact this I was searching on the internet yesterday, I thought MAUI won't make this, I need to use Native Android, but Thanks Man.

[@jfversluis]

Under the hood this still uses native Android (and iOS) of course. This plugin is someone that did the work for you to make it easy to use with .NET MAUI :)

[@hugovazquez5628]

I want a video about cancellation tokens please

[@ricardoalejandroescalantem8217]

Excelente amigo Gerald !! Aunque no lo necesito por el momento, hace tiempo me preguntaba como hacerlo y que bueno saberlo antes de necesitarlo ...... Saludos desde León Gto Méx.😀

[@jfversluis]

Glad you still enjoyed watching it! At least now you know it exists for when you do need it 😉 thanks for being a fan!

[@oscar_urp]

Me llamo mucho la atención un comentario en español jeje, igual soy de León GTO, y estamos en las mismas, no lo necesito de momento, pero nunca esta demás saber como hacerlo

[@christianzaragoza7575]

Excelente aporte @jfversluis, consulta, hay posibilidad de agregar huellas desde una app windows y se puedan verificar desde una app android? Muchas gracias.

[@JAVASCRIPT-mv3se]

Hi Bro, it's possible to fetch a biometric ID (like a fingerprint or face ID) and store it in a database (If Yes then How?). Thanks for this great Video ❤ 😊

[@jfversluis]

Watch the video and you’ll know the answer!

[@davidpccode]

Hi dear!! Tks for this amazing video. One question. In real life we need to retrieve som access-token o api keys. How do you manage this scenario for example a login oaut page that return an accesstoken how to bind this?

[@marquardtsnell7916]

This is what we do, too! I don't have a work item for the biometrics, but "It's a demo, I can do what I want" (Not really *anything* I want, but I'll try to sneak it in if I can!)

[@DeepWorksStudios]

Awesome thanks for creating this video. I was looking for something like this for a long time :)

[@jfversluis]

A video is never far away 😉 thanks for watching!

[@_rushas]

Great video. Also, would like to watch more about Cancellation Tokens.

[@jfversluis]

Thank you!

[@paulvanlochem5668]

Thx again, please make a video about cancelation token :-)

[@jfversluis]

Thanks Paul! Will finally do 😂

[@jerryrichards9613]

Thank you for the video. Exactly what I need. I am a little concerned about the number of Xamarin dependencies.

[@jfversluis]

Good luck implementing it!

[@PrasadSampangi-gz6ty]

Can you please explain how to add face recognition in android it is accepting only fingerprint and alternates but not Face id.

[@jfversluis]

I think that depends on what is configured on the device. I was able to make it work with both fingerprint and face on Android

[@ScottLaFoy]

Thank you for your video, it was helpful. I have 2 questions. 1 How can I use face id from the windows iOS simulator? I have been looking for a while and can not find it. 2 Is there a way to tell if the device has fingerprint or face id sensors so I can customize the text on the button? I don't want to ask a fingerprint user to log in with face id.

[@jfversluis]

Thanks! 1 I don’t think that’s possible so you’ll need to do it on the Mac directly or a physical device. 2 not sure. I dot think you can on iOS there you might need to detect the device and know if it has Face ID or Touch ID

[@gabrielwembi808]

Thanks You're a life saver ❤️

[@rianbello5445]

Hi Gerald, great video and very useful information. I haven't tried it yet, but can I use this for my Blazor Hybrid App? Thanks for your time and kindness in sharing knowledge with us.

[@jfversluis]

You can absolutely also use this in a Blazer Hybrid app!

[@prithaguha3464]

Hey I am a MAUI developer, working on biometrics functionality. I want to check if any fingerprint is added in the device Biometrics section. Is there any way to bifurcate that user has added face scan or fingerprint scan as biometrics for Maui Android I was trying to use Fingerprint Manager's Enrolled fingerprints but it seems to be deprecated

[@SuperGulamali]

The Plugin you seee in this video has a pre-release version that let's you check this with a new method i have added

[@XELTRA1]

if i want use face recognition not fingerprint, which source code i have to chaged??

[@jfversluis]

You probably don't want to do that as not all devices have it. The best coverage is to do both! And to be honest I'm not even sure if you can specifically say you only want face recognition.

[@michaloplt3351]

Hello Gerald, thanks for the video! How should it be properly used in the MVVM pattern? Where is the correct location to put the authentication in?

[@jfversluis]

Using it with MVVM would require you to use it with dependency injection if you want to do it properly, but there is nothing stopping you from also using the static implementation there. All the rest of the code basically remains the same; whenever you want to secure something, call authentication first.

[@Kaa1o]

Hello, I downloaded the test application from your repository and it works great authenticating using your finger. But face authentication isn't working. The phone I use for the tests is a Xiaomi Mi M9T that allows biometrics using the finger and face. You could make a demo version available using facial biometrics. Grateful

[@jfversluis]

Works fine here with a Google Pixel 8! You might want to report a bug on the repository of the plugin

[@pratham_dev]

Hi Gerald, Can we have a video on how to create project environments in Maui ?

[@jfversluis]

What do you mean by project environments?

[@pratham_dev]

@@jfversluis I mean Project Configuration like Debug and Release. How can I create different configurations like Debug-Dev and Release-Dev,etc ?

[@deaasaleh3613]

Great video 👍 I have to try it

[@jfversluis]

Let me know how it goes!

[@Leodinc]

Very cool! Is it possible to check whether a device has the biometric functionalities and only if so use this plugin? I would like to implement this into an application but i'm not sure every user has biometric available on his device, and my fear is that these user will always see the fail popup... Any ideas?

[@jfversluis]

Yep! github.com/FreakyAli/Plugin.Maui.Biometric/wiki/Enums#biometrichwstatus

[@abughagha9124]

Does it work on maui app targetting windows as well? If so, I'll be waiting for your incoming video of its implementation for windows 😊🙏🏻

[@jfversluis]

Check out github.com/oscoreio/Maui.Biometric

[@hermanreyes2400]

is this plugin compatible with .net 7? and also make a video using vs for Mac. I don't have Mac, I just want to know how it works with macOS. thanks

[@jfversluis]

You’ll have to check the NuGet page for that. Also .NET 7 for .NET MAUI is out of support so you probably want to update to .NET 8 anyway

[@hermanreyes2400]

@@jfversluis Thanks for the reply. I will be looking forward to watch the finger and face plugin for Mac (iOS). thanks
