open class Class2BiometricAuthPrompt

kotlin.Any
↳	androidx.biometric.auth.Class2BiometricAuthPrompt

This class is used to build and configure a BiometricPrompt for authentication that only permits Class 2 biometric modalities (fingerprint, iris, face, etc), and then start authentication. Class 2 (formerly known as Weak) refers to the strength of the biometric sensor, as specified in the Android 11 CDD. Class 2 authentication can be used for applications that don't require cryptographic operations.

Summary

Nested classes
	Builder Builds a BiometricPrompt object for Class 2 biometric only authentication with specified options.

Public methods
open CharSequence?	getDescription() Gets the description for the prompt.
open CharSequence?	getSubtitle() Gets the subtitle for the prompt.
open Boolean	isConfirmationRequired() Indicates whether prompt requires explicit user confirmation after a passive biometric (e .g. iris or face) has been recognized but before
open AuthPrompt	startAuthentication() Begins authentication using the configured biometric prompt, and returns an AuthPrompt wrapper that can be used for cancellation and dismissal of the biometric prompt.
