    Biometrics are not secret and should not be used in place of passwords. They are identity like a user name. It’s the same problem with orgs trying to use ssn as a security challenge, with all the beaches pretty much everyone’s is already public knowledge.

      For some reason the typo on beaches got me to laugh. Beaches are a very revealing place I suppose, I felt exposed already when I went to them.

      i disagree, while not secret, i think a warrant should be required to use them, since it effectively bypasses password auth.
