Like your name or address?
- meepmorp 2y agoYou can change your name and address, you cannot change your irises.
- dilyevsky 2y agoThat argument works for fingerprints because it’s possible to replicate them (kind of) but how do you replicate someone’s eyeballs assuming supervised setup ?

- Terr_ 2y agoIf we assume "supervised setup", then doesn't that negate the fingerprint issue too because a supervisor can tug off fake-fingers and wash tips with alcohol etc? Either way, I think this is one of those "if it was used properly, people won't like the limitations, so they'll use it improperly" situations. Kind of like with social security numbers.
- Terr_ 2y agoNo, because nobody trusts full-names or addresses the same dumb way that they wish they could trust iris-data or fingerprint-data. "Welcome to Acme Bank. To prove you are the owner of this bank-account, please supply your full name and street address. *ding* Authentication successful! Please choose an amount to transfer." At best, biometrics can only replace usernames. In other words, information that is quasi-public and not expected to be easily changeable... With the additional problem that sometimes it changes all on its own.
