Biometry for service login is about the worst idea ever. The problem of biometric attributes not being secrets has already been mentioned by others, but what is at least as important is that I want to be able to use computers, and computers don't have biometric attributes. I want to be able to task my computer with watching my bank accounts, for example, and for that my computer needs to be able to log into my bank account. Using biometric authentication essentially means that corporations get a monopoly on using computers to scale the work they are able to accomplish, while they force me as an individual to do everything myself, or at best to have another corporation run a computer on my behalf.
