I swear to god biometric security has to be one of those topics with the largest dissonance between how the general public views it and how experts view it because every expert guide recommends you never do any of it. Even removed from bypassing it with some makeup or an A4 printout of a finger print held at a bit of a distance overriding most of these systems you're still stuck at it's really hard to change your biometrics. Like even if you don't care for your face ending up in any number of databses freely purchaseable to anyone you only have the one. If that gets compromised everything downstream of it being your security is right the fuck out. Most fingerprint sensors don't even check for other biometrics such as "does this have a pulse or somewhat appropiate heat for a human body".

I am fully aware at least half of the reason to do this is to build a database for natsec pervert reasons
