You need the ability to change out your password or 2fa if it gets compromised. You can't change your fingerprints or retinas.

"What you are" is a completely valid factor for 2fa, when combined with either "what you have" (a token) or "what you know" (a password). People need to stop complaining about biometric security if they don't understand the basic concepts of security in the first place. Re-read my first post and this one, and if you're still confused, look into factors of security. Hopefully you can stop parroting this nonsense that fingerprints are not a valid factor in 2fa.
