Biometrics (fingerprints in this example), but not limited to them. In other embodiments, if the result is yes, the process may also go to step S4, for example, the processing unit 15 controls the display screen 12 to display these account options 125 ~ 127 again for the user to re-select an account to log in Server 2. If the result is no, the flow proceeds to step S72.

Then, in step S72, the processing unit 15 determines whether the confirmation option 128 is selected through operation. If the result is YES, the flow proceeds to step S8 to continue the login procedure. If the result is no, the process proceeds to step S71, for example, but is not limited thereto.

When the processing unit 15 determines that the confirmation option 128 is selected through operation, in step S8, the processing unit 15 controls the communication interface 11 to transmit an identification code and a password corresponding to the login account option 125 'to the Server 2. In this embodiment, the identification code and the password are, for example, a storage unit stored in the mobile communication device 1, but are not limited thereto.

Next, in step S9, the server 2 retrieves a pre-stored original password according to the identification code. According to the previous example, at this stage, the original password retrieved by the server 2 is, for example, the identification code corresponding to the Michael account number.

Then, in step S10, the server 2 verifies whether the password is the same as the original password. If the result is yes, the process proceeds to step S11. The server 2 allows the mobile communication device 1 to log in as the identification code.

If the result is no, go to step S12, the server 2 does not allow the mobile communication device 1 to log in as the identification code, but not limited to this. In other embodiments, if the result is no, the process may also enter, for example, step S11, that is, the processing unit 15 of the mobile communication device 1 enters the text input mode again and controls the display screen 12 to display the text input. The login screen (see FIG. 4), by which the user can re-enter the correct account and password in the login account field 121 and the password field 122 respectively by entering text to enter the login process smoothly.

It is added that, in other embodiments, in step S6, the processing unit 15 may, for example, control the display screen 12 to display only the login account option 125 ', and omit steps S71 and S72 and directly proceed to step S8. For example, the user does not need to click the confirmation option 128 or the cancellation option 129, and the processing unit 15 can continue the subsequent login procedure of the Michael account. In particular, when there is only one account number corresponding to the original fingerprint, the user certainly does not need to reconfirm the account number that he wants to log into the financial software.

In summary, in the embodiment of the login method using biometric identification of the present invention, when a biometric feature such as a fingerprint is input to the mobile communication device 1, the mobile communication device 1 displays a corresponding account option 125 according to the fingerprint. ~ 127 is available for selection, and when one of the account options 125 is selected as the login account option 125 ', the mobile communication device 1 sends related data to the server 2 for subsequent login procedures, so the user does not need to enter The account information is typed into the mobile communication device 1 in text, and one of the account options 125 can be selected to log in to the financial software, which can overcome the login problem caused by human error, so it can indeed achieve the purpose of the invention.
