• Abstract summary: We present the results of an online survey to understand the impact of the increasing availability of biometrics on their use and perception. We shed light on participants' misconceptions, their coping strategies with authentication failures and potential attacks, as well as their perception of the usability and security of biometrics in general.

• Abstract: In this paper we assess how well users know biometric authentication methods, how they perceive them, and if they have misconceptions about them. We present the results of an online survey that we conducted in two rounds (2019, N=57; and 2023, N=47) to understand the impact of the increasing availability of biometrics on their use and perception. The survey covered participants' general understanding of physiological and behavioral biometrics and their perceived usability and security. While most participants were able to name examples and stated that they use biometrics in their daily lives, they still had difficulties explaining the concepts behind them. We shed light on participants' misconceptions, their coping strategies with authentication failures and potential attacks, as well as their perception of the usability and security of biometrics in general. As such, our results can support the design of both further studies to gain deeper insights and future biometric interfaces to foster the informed use of biometrics.
