One of the problems is that "forever passwords" is a term used positively when I worked in banking, as it was a password that the customer could not forget and would not need support using.

So I could easily see a lot of people viewing this as a positive.

That's a really good point. It lays bare some of my biases when it comes to thinking about and communicating with "normal people" about this sort of thing.

People having a bad memory is it enormous cost to institutions, which is why biometrics is so appealing in the first place.

Them being forever passwords is the value prop. The risk scene has changed, but that was essentially always the pitch.

Biometrics are fine. My dog has an ID chip in injected under his skin.

Your dog has nothing worth stealing and is not responsible for anything.

Missing the point. The point is well-chosen biometrics can be changed.
