Humanforce Face Recognition allows users to sign into Humanforce quicker and easier than ever before. Employees can register their own face via the Humanforce App which goes through a manager approval workflow. Alternatively, a manager can register an employee via the Biometric Registration screen, or Employee Management screen similar to other biometric registration (like Finger Vein).
Face Recognition will be largely used to allow users to sign in and clock in/out.
The images captured will be accessible via the timesheet by clicking on the 'Additional Information' icon next to the start or end time.
Security Overview
Face recognition offers a quick, alternative login method. It's important to be aware that facial recognition is not the most secure authentication method available. Most facial recognition algorithms primarily rely on 2D images, which lack depth and cannot accurately discern between a live human face and a static image. While advancements in technology have led to the development of more sophisticated systems that can detect spoofing attempts using photographs, the risk still exists, especially with older or less advanced implementations.
Humanforce verifies images using Amazon's Rekognition service. Due to facial recognition's limitations, fraudulent login attempts are sometimes undetected. Biometric Finger Vein Scanners offer the most secure login and Humanforce recommends using Finger Vein Scanners for unattended Kiosk clocking (excluding clocking using the Classic and Work apps) where possible, to prevent fraudulent access. Humanforce recommends disabling management navigation options when facial recognition is in use.
