I know I’m just repeating what a lot of other have said, but this is sort of missing how this works. To use SSH as an example: What you’re describing is essentially using a fingerprint instead of a private key or password for logging into a server via ssh. The way this works is more akin to using a private key to login via SSH, but that private key is protected by a fingerprint instead of a password. Ultimately the security comes from not sharing your private key, rather than the mechanism used to protect that key.
