The Metaverse, a rapidly evolving digital realm where people connect, collaborate, and engage in various activities, presents promising opportunities and, at the same time, raises significant security concerns. As users interact with diverse services, the need for a dependable method to confirm user identities becomes apparent. In light of current technology and the capabilities of biometrics, this paper explores the application of biometric authentication as a robust security solution within the Metaverse. Specifically, it investigates the practicality and effectiveness of biometric authentication methods, including facial recognition and iris scan, in preserving the integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity of interactions in the Metaverse. To illustrate our findings, we propose an authentication mechanism tailored for the Metaverse in response to the security challenges. To validate the feasibility and benefits of our approach, we conducted evaluations within an Apple Mac Mini environment, implementing biometric authentication in a simulated Apple Vision Pro. The outcomes of our study conclusively illustrate the security enhancements and advantages of our proposed authentication mechanism.
