Biometrics are "what you are", not "what you know" or "what you have".

Voice fingeprinting is essentially useless because it is easily recorded and reproduced.

I have been telling people for years that biometrics (face, fingerprint, voice) is your username, not your password. But people are easily swayed by convenience.
If your user name is tattooed on your forehead, yes.
For all intents an purposes it is, especially face ID. Also, courts in most countries can compel you to provide biometrics. But many cannot compel you to reveal passwords.
