Abstract: Social networks are becoming a necessary component of contemporary life, yet security is still a major worry. Conventional password-based authentication methods are susceptible to a number of threats that jeopardize user privacy and data. In order to offer strong user verification and privacy protection, this study suggests an enhanced social network security system that incorporates biometric authentication; through the use of fingerprint scanning. The Enhanced Social Network Security System establishes a biometric authentication system that restricts access to vital websites, networks, and web-based applications to those who are approved, as used in this study which protect user biometric data integrity; when compared to conventional password-based systems. The suggested solution exhibits better security and usability. According to experimental results, erroneous acceptance and rejection rates have significantly decreased, guaranteeing precise user verification. The System offers social networks a practical and safe authentication solution that safeguards user information and privacy. The use of biometric authentication improves social networks' overall security posture and increases their resistance to online attacks.
