    Mmm.

    I should go print a silicon printer that can make fake fingers based on, idk, someone's fabvorite ice cream flavor or something. Really hasten the slide in to the security abyss.

    Either way, I still use passwords for everything, and every password is unique. Biometrics my right tit they don't even have t beat that out of you, then can just cut something off. At least with the password manager it has to either have a vulnerability or they need access to state-level legal muscle to force the people who designed it to open the lock. Plus if one password gets compromized nothing else is unless it's the master, and even with the master they still need access to the password locker to do anything with it.

      Pretty much everytime you look into this type of stuff "good print of fingerprint" does the job just fine, you don't even have to get that fancy with it.

      Biometric security is better understood as a convenience product.
