By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new React Native library, @sbaiahmed1/react-native-biometrics, offers biometric authentication with hardware-backed cryptographic key management, device integrity checks, and StrongBox support. It supports Fingerprint, Face ID, Touch ID, and Iris Scanner across iOS and Android. The library is compatible with React Native New Architecture and Expo.

Meridian48 take
While biometric auth is standard, the cryptographic key management and device integrity features could make this library a go-to for security-sensitive apps.
