    If it’s compromised you can’t change it for one

    Also you can’t be legally forced without a warrant to give a password but biometric data you can be legally forced without a warrant to give up

      Lol let’s take the kid gloves off, shall we?

      Fingerprints, as a means of authentication, is just straight up not secure.

        Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

          Fwiw they’re able to do the same thing by the sound of someone typing a password across the room. Not advocating for fingerprints or anything, just these exotic hacks are everywhere

            The thing is, one of those attacks requires you to type your password. The other requires you to touch something.

            …my memory was that this only worked after the routine had been trained on your typing idiosyncrasies
