Well, you’re in luck! In this article, we’ll show you how to set up your fingerprint as a login method for AGRONet on your smartphone or tablet. It’s simple, convenient, and safe!
What is AGRONet?
AGRONet is a web-based application that provides various services and information for Malaysian farmers. It was launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) in 2019 to improve the efficiency and productivity of the agricultural sector. Some of the features of AGRONet include:
- Online registration and renewal of agricultural licenses
- Online application and payment of subsidies and incentives
- Online access to market prices, weather forecasts, and crop advisories
- Online learning and training modules
- Online feedback and complaint system
AGRONet aims to empower farmers with digital tools and resources that can help them grow their businesses and income. To use AGRONet, you need to register as a user and create a password. However, typing your password every time can be tedious and risky, especially if you use a public or shared device. That’s why AGRONet also supports fingerprint authentication, which is a more convenient and secure way to log in.
Why Use Fingerprint Authentication?
Fingerprint authentication is a biometric technology that uses your unique fingerprint pattern to verify your identity. Unlike passwords, fingerprints are not easy to guess, steal, or forget. They also save you time and hassle, as you don’t have to remember or type anything. All you need is your finger and your device!
Fingerprint authentication is supported by most modern smartphones and tablets that have a fingerprint scanner. You can use it to unlock your device, make payments, access apps, and more. And now, you can also use it to log in to AGRONet!
