Comparable to a social security number, but a SSN which you rubber stamp upon literally everything you touch. I make this analogy to illustrate the ridiculousness of both.
- mtgx 10y agoI think it's a good comparison, even if it may not seem quite like it yet because we still don't have that many things for which to use our fingerprints. But soon we will have. All the banks are considering some form of biometric authentication for ATMs, and so on, and this could expand to many other types of services. That means you'll have to scan and store your fingerprint on a range of devices with highly variable security. Eventually your fingerprint will be sold on the black market, just like your SSN is.
- Freak_NL 10y ago> All the banks are considering some form of biometric authentication for ATMs First I've heard of this. Is this a regional thing or a global trend? Got any sources?
