The survey results revealed that 33% of users would prefer to use fingerprint recognition as a security method to access their accounts. A further 13% would like to use iris scanners, 7% facial recognition, and 3% voice recognition.
When it comes to passwords, only 19% of people cited them as their favoured security method and just 13% selected memorable questions, indicating that users are suffering from password fatigue and want the convenience that biometrics can offer.
