I 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 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.

  Of 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.
