just wait until you hear about face unlock
At least I could try to block that with some bigger hangover. :D
At least with fingerprint to unlock, I know which limb gets cut off...
They don't even need to cut your finger off.
They can force you by law to unlock your devices if you used biometric authentication.
They can't force you to tell a password.
At least that's German law afaik.
btw, there are three types of authentication:
- knowledge (PIN, password)
- possession (RFID card)
- inherence (fingerprint, eye scan etc.)
Ideally, you want MFA which covers all three types.
Sure, and it's easier to fool a fingerprint/face-sensor than to crack a password.
Biometrics should never be anything more than a user name
Depends on the password
Passwords have their own set of problems:

Password managers with a very good master password mitigate most problems though imo
On GraphineOS fingerprint is a second factor for convenience. If the phone is powered off the password is still needed.
Using fingerprints to unlock my phone. Guess because I have watched too much films where fingers are cut off from persons to unlock something.
