Why are physical passports necessary in 2020? Why isn’t there an optional system in place which uses fingerprints?
In: Technology
Fingerprints are actually pretty terrible for identification. They’re easily spoofed ( [https://www.wired.com/story/cheap-3d-printer-trick-smartphone-fingerprint-locks/](https://www.wired.com/story/cheap-3d-printer-trick-smartphone-fingerprint-locks/) ) and if someone does get a copy of your fingerprints, what do you do? You can’t reset them, like you can a password. They are compromised forever.
And do you really want China or Saudi Arabia to have a copy of your fingerprints?
