 ## :material-chip: Secure Element
 
-All forms of biometric authentication rely on proper hardware such as a secure element in order to be secure. Examples include Apple's [Secure Enclave](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/secure-enclave-sec59b0b31ff/web) and Google's [Titan M](https://security.googleblog.com/2021/10/pixel-6-setting-new-standard-for-mobile.html) series of chips. You should avoid devices that lack a secure element; they won't be able to properly implement secure biometrics without one.

The secure element provides a secure and tamper-resistant place to store your biometric data so it can't be easily extracted.
