Authenticate users biometrically or with a passphrase they already know

Many users rely on biometric authentication like Face ID or Touch ID to enable secure, effortless access to their devices. As a fallback option, and for devices without biometry, a passcode or password serves a similar purpose. Use the LocalAuthentication framework to leverage these mechanisms in your app and extend authentication procedures your app already implements.
