Biometrics give the wider public a FALSE sense of security Oh, please! There is an abundance of evidence to show that the wider public is completely uninterested in security to the degree that a majority will disable security features altogether if they are inconvenient to use in the slightest. People don’t use biometric authentication because they are misled to believe that it’s more secure than other methods of security. They use it because it’s the most convenient method. That not only a pointless statement, but a False Dilemma Fallacy as well In principle perhaps, but not in practice. Before biometric authentication became widespread, it was completely normal not to protect your phone at all. And when it was protected, it was almost always with a 4-digit PIN that you only had to enter after some amount of time had passed since you last unlocked the phone. often time I see people set VERY insecure passwords because they believe that thei biometrics protects their password That’s a nice anecdote which may be a completely accurate account of what someone told you. Or not. I find it hard to believe with no evidence that such a specific misunderstanding should be widespread. I do find it very believable that people use bad passwords, because people have always used bad passwords. As long as we’re exchanging anecdotes, I can tell you that I personally changed from a 4-digit PIN to a longer password when I got Touch ID, because it wasn’t as inconvenient when I only had to type it in once in a while as opposed to every time I unlock my phone.
