I refuse to use any FaceID system but the fingerprint scanner on an iphone is just a quick-access unlock vs a manually entered passcode/password. Eg. if you lose your thumb that unlocks your cellphone you can still enter your full length password and reconfigure the biometrics.

Seems like this article is about a new consortium trying to do global single sign on and is selling it as "no more passwords!"
