Explanation

Biometrics refers to authentication methods that use unique physical or behavioral characteristics of a person - such as fingerprints, retina scans, or facial recognition. A fingerprint reader is a classic biometric device. Privacy filters are physical screen overlays that limit viewing angles. RFID uses radio frequency for identification tags. RSA tokens generate one-time passwords for two-factor authentication but are not biometric.
