    I want to know too. Can someone EILI5 for me? If I let this thing scan my eye, what’s the worst that could happen? And how is it worse than all the rest of my info that is out there?

      Your password is stolen you can change it. Try changing your eyeballs when somebody impersonates you.

      To be clear, my working assumption is that there is a nefarious reason, it’s just not immediately obvious to me what it is.

      As someone else mentioned though, you could be a bit fucked if your eyeball data is used to identity fraud you, so perhaps not the best idea for a security standpoint
