Iris Unlock

Beginning in OS release 1.4.0, third party developers with a Developer Pro or Enterprise Magic Leap 2 license now have access to request iris data and enable iris unlock within their applications. Iris Unlock is a feature that enables iris recognition as a biometric authentication method on the Magic Leap 2 device. This feature can be used as an alternative to requesting a pin or password, and can be used for things such as:

  • Requesting authentication from a user within your app
  • Encrypting or decrypting sensitive data using a key that depends on biometric authentication

Using Iris Unlock

  • Make sure you are using a Developer Pro or Enterprise license
  • Follow these steps to enable Iris Unlock on your device.
