- shakna 7y ago> Your grandpa could use it to secure his crypto wallet. For a certain sense of "secure". Because fingerprints aren't. Not just because you leave them everywhere, but because the way we examine fingerprints doesn't have a result that is particularly unique. Not even at the criminal case-law level [0][1]. That fingerprints are unique is an assumption, but it doesn't match our reality. They're useful for eliminating from a known small pool, not matching against a large group. Many of the elements we match against run in families.

- fluidcruft 7y agoI guess what I wonder about there is how do you deal with various password "rules" when generating the passwords? I really have no idea what that thing is doing. How does it know which password goes to which website? How do you create multiple passwords from your fingerprint?
