13.14 Does each identification or control feature that relies on the use of biological characteristics of the user have an alternative method?

Official methodology to test criterion 13.14

Test 1 (13.14.1)

  1. Find the identification (authentication) and control functions on the page that use biological characteristics (voice recognition, fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.).
  2. Check that there is an alternative method of performing the action:
    • For an authentication feature that uses fingerprint recognition, a button is available on the login page to access password entry.
    • For an authentication function that uses voice recognition, the website also offers fingerprint recognition.
  3. If this is the case, the test is validated.

If the alternative method also relies on a biological characteristic, it is essential that it does not use a similar biological characteristic. For example, if the initial method is based on voice, the alternative method must not use voice.
