Physical Biometrics. Biometrics based on physical characteristics can be used as an additional or alternative authentication factor for user authentication. An advan- tage it has is that it generally is quite usable. Disadvantages include the unwillingness of some people to use them due to social stigmas and the limited number of nonreplace- able characteristics (which can be zero for users with disabilities). These disadvantages limit biometrics for user authentication to users who want and can use them, which is why an alternative authentication method (based on the other two factors) has to be available.
