Biometrics can be fooled, and even if they couldn't they can only verify your identity. They can't verify your volition.

- 794CD01 10y agoThey can be fooled now, but that is an implementation flaw, not a problem with the concept. I wouldn't cite the weakness of unsalted MD5 hashes as a problem with the concept of passwords. I agree with your assessment of what biometrics can and cannot do. That is why I specifically said that in most situations, passwords are only used to verify someone's identity, and thus can be replaced with biometrics.
