Even if someone guesses my PIN, I still don't want them to be able to get a copy of my fingerprint sensor data. Who knows how many multi-factor auth systems will use fingerprints in the future? Stolen fingerprint data could become the next SSN that people use to steal identities.

- m4x 11y agoIt seems unlikely that any sensible system would use fingerprint data for security, given how easy it is to spoof. You leave your fingerprints everywhere and can't protect them once you've left the area. Authenticator + smart phone is not ideal but it's still better than fingerprints. It's harder to steal a phone from somebody, while it's almost impossible to prevent the theft of your fingerprints.
