When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solved
When your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases forever
This is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.
@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...
