UK looks to replace passwords with biometric technology to reduce NHS login time
The U.K. government is investing £40 million (USD$52 million) in multi-factor authentication technology to upgrade NHS staff computer login system and reduce employee login time, which has reportedly brought great stress and dissatisfaction among staff members.
The system will focus on a partnership with IT system suppliers to replace password logins with biometric multi-factor logins such as fingerprint access, making sure trusts comply and update processes so that staff is granted the access permission needed, and merging local with national system so healthcare facilitators can access all clinical and workforce systems. The upgrade will not only save time logging into different IT systems, but it will also boost infrastructure security.
