The problem is that a lot of systems perceives biometric as password, while it really is a user name. Biometric doesn't provide security when there's possibility that people can tamper with it.
Like Bruce Schneier says...
"The lesson is that biometrics work best if the system can verify that the biometric came from the person at the time of verification. The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system."[1]
