FAQs around Biometric/Face registration process: 

 

 

I don’t have a system camera. What to do? 

Please arrange a web camera or log in via laptop/mobile to register your face.  

 

Can I complete this process later? 

No, because you won't be able to log in to the dashboard without completing this process. 

 

What should I do if I am not able to register? 

Please reach out to our help desk support team.

 

Why is my Face registration process failing?

​

Please ensure that only you, the account owner, is trying to register, and that your face is clearly visible. If the issue persists, check your camera settings or try using a different device.
