You still need to create a password. And since nearly always the biometric option doesn’t replace the password, it’s a moot point.

But that’s my point. Why use passwords at all.

If we’re okay using our face to auth into all mobile apps (business, personal or otherwise) and also to auth into the country every time we fly into it, why not just move towards making it standard.

I'm not! If this sort of thing becomes standard, I will become digitally amish.

Until you get into an accident and your face is covered in bandages or something and the computer wont let you in.
