Abstract
This research discusses the development of an Android application through the integration of fingerprint recognition technology for user authentication as a way of improving security in the system. The app serves as an additional security layer, requiring users to verify their identity before gaining access to any installed applications on their Android device. The use of technologically developed devices with fingerprint scanners that have the capacity for analyzing biological traits facilitates a strong user verification process. The process makes use of a fingerprint previously registered by the user to authenticate user legitimacy, hence providing an efficient authentication process. A set of metrics was introduced and verified against a legacy system, proving that the proposed system surpasses the legacy system. This new approach offers the advantage of serving as an alternative to using PIN numbers or pattern unlocking on Android smartphones.
