> This feels like an idea from some idiot corporate suit who said "Well there are fingerprint readers on phones, let's use that to lock down accounts" without understanding that your app just gets as "Yes" or a "No" when you ask the phone to scan a fingerprint. The apps themselves don't get to the see the scan.
I don't know what your point is, but that would work just as well for them too.
- joshstrange 7y agoHow would that work for them? All I have to do is login once on my friend's device then from then on even if the app asks for biometrics it will work since it will be THEIR biometrics. Also I can add 5 different people's fingerprints to my device (if that even what the companies are trying to prevent, which it's not).
- xsmasher 7y agoThe app just gets a "Yes, this is the owner of this device" or a "No, this is not the owner of this device." What can Netflix do with that? It's not tied to an account.
