About Biometric Authentication<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n \n

To protect your confidential information, the Bloomberg Terminal requires biometric authentication. Android users can now download a B-Unit App. For more information about how to download the app and get started, visit our B-Unit App for Android page.<\/p>\n

To authenticate your access to the Bloomberg Terminal, your finger swipe is scanned and linked to your account.<\/p>\n

A finger swipe scanner is embedded in the Bloomberg Keyboard, and a portable scanner\u2014known as a B-UNIT\u00ae and approximately the size of a credit card\u2014allows you to access your account from any location using Bloomberg Anywhere on a PC or mobile device.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
