I recently tweeted about the Salesforce 1 security layer via fingerprint or Touch ID scanner.

As promised, here is a video demo and details of a prototype Concretio’s research team developed.

Video Overview & Technicals

Here are some technicals:

• We built a Cordova / Ionic app.

• This app registers a URL scheme to be called out from anywhere in mobile, i.e. apps or HTML pages.

• We used that URL scheme to connect with our app from Salesforce 1.

• This app uses Touch ID / Finger print scanner plugin for Cordova

Thanks 

To Mr. Amjad Khan from Concretio, for his hard work on the prototype.
