I still use a passcode... I think true authentication should come from my conscious awareness, rather than the mere presence of some biological characteristics.

Haven't actually found any AR use cases that has been compelling, didn't get into the Pokemon Go craze and in the mapping world I think I would trade any AR capability for compass functionality that could actually tell which way my phone was oriented without endless calibration and movement.
- chrstphrknwtn 9y agoI 100% agree on the Touch ID point; storing a key in my mind is more secure than just requiring a part of body to be in some spatial relationship to the device. I'm surprised that people believe Touch/FaceID are secure in any real sense.
- gurkendoktor 9y agoI hate entering passwords in public spaces because it would be trivial to record what my fingers are doing. It's a trade-off, and there are situations where TouchID is less insecure.
- rhinoceraptor 9y agoOf course touch/face ID are not nation-state (or even talented hacker) secure, that was never the point. They are secure for the case where someone steals or finds your phone. The only people who used passcodes before biometrics in smartphones were either security conscious tech people, or they were forced to use it on their work phone.
