🔐 Fingerprint Authenticator System

This is a biometric authentication system built with Django that enables user login and verification using fingerprint data. It is designed to offer a secure and user-friendly way of accessing web applications by leveraging fingerprint authentication instead of (or in addition to) traditional passwords.

⚠️ Note: This project is currently under active development and may change significantly over time.
