@capitainesam Also maybe not use your fingerprint to unlock your phone if your not 100% sure it stays on the device (even if the device is stolen etc.)
@jfml @capitainesam I would hope that your phone takes a "fingerprint" of your fingerprint, i.e. enough to verify but not reconstruct.

@capitainesam or any other biometric…

@capitainesam So maybe you combine biometrics with password/passkey?
One of the foundational stories of cyberpunk illustrated a defense against biometrics fraud. The hackers targeted a victim that used fingerprint login. They managed to get a copy of the victim's fingerprint and used it.
Then the victim's security system kicked in - because the victim always deliberately *failed* the first finger login and used their *second* finger login...
@dancingtreefrog @capitainesam I'm curious and a fan of cyberpunk... What book are you referring to?

Just say No to Biometric Identity Verification 🙂🖖

@vrek @capitainesam I seem to recall that it was William Gibson's Neuromancer; the incident that lead to the main character's nervous system being crippled by the Russian mafia. But it's been awhile since I read it, I could be mistaken.

@capitainesam until you start abusing billionaires biometric data, nothing will ever happen... Even then only use of theirs will be quickly outlawed.

@capitainesam also, those biometric data will inevitably be leaked. One glimmer of hope is that bit rot will render them useless over time
