I would say there is one case where a fingerprint scanner is more secure than a password though, which is if you're trying to unlock your phone with someone peeking over your shoulder (or in an area with video surveillance).
- r00fus 7y agoThere's also the "I have a complex passphraess for various apps/websites" but use iCloud keychain, 1Password, etc instead of typing in the password. From a usability perspective, passwords are a nightmare, TouchID is a bit better (e.g. dry or wet fingers don't reliably work), FaceID is quite usable. Apple seems the only company worth criticizing in this space.
