Abstract
An improved authentication technique employs a user's mobile device to obtain a picture of the user from which facial geometry is extracted and applied as part of an authentication operation of the user to the remote network. In some examples, a server stores facial geometry for different users along with associated PINs. By matching facial geometry of the user with facial geometry on the server, the user's PIN can be obtained, without the user ever having to register or remember the PIN.
