Reference: Biometric vs. traditional access control

Reference information:
PeopleKey's biometric access control solution provides intelligent, convenient security for your facilities on a 24/7 basis. Traditional access control systems rely upon what a person has (keys or a card) or what he knows (such as a PIN number). Biometric access control systems, on the other hand, provide secure authentication by verifying who a person is.
