Sounds fairly sensible to me

  If it's truly sensitive data, encrypting with a unique private key and locking that with a PIN a la FIDO via NFC would be a bit more secure. One master key leak and everyone is walking around with IDs that give away sensitive data over RFID.

    > sensitive data "Sensitive" data that you already leave on everything you touch.

      You leave your DNA everywhere, too, but there are data security and privacy implications of digitizing that data and voluntarily/involuntarily sharing it with others.

  "Many passports also contain your computer password. But those are even harder to access. You need a private key that only governments have." Still reasonable?

    If you think of your fingerprint as a "secret", you're wrong. It's more your name. That would be like saying your face is a secret. It's not.
