"Once your fingerprint is compromised how do you change it?"
This is the central question for all biometrics for me and I believe one of the hardest problems to solve. There are many people who believe they are solving this by using ever more intricate biometric identifiers, thus increasing the bar to reproduce them beyond what they believe currently feasible. But I'm yet to see that central question addressed.
What happens when you lose control of a biometric key?

And if they fail to enter my code 10 times, the phone is wiped. I don't use it, but it seems there's a fallback password after __ failed attemps.
