How is a passcode lock possibly more secure than biometrics?

846 views

In every device that you can unlock with biometrics like fingerprint or face scanner (Laptops, Tablets, Phones, etc.), they often claim entering a password is safer than using biometrics, and they block the most secure settings and information behind a passcode rather than a quick fingerprint or face scanner. Wouldn’t it be easier to steal a password than it would be to physically copy someone’s fingerprint?

You leave your fingerprints everywhere, and if it is compromised once you’re shit out of luck. Your lifetime supply is 10 of them and I want to see people try to unlock their phone with pinkies instead of thumb/index finger.

Meanwhile a password is ideally only known to your brain and maybe a secure password manager.
