dont use biometrics as a security solution. always use something that requires you to be conscious and coherent.

    Being aware of your threat model and evaluating options accordingly is always good.

    But don't do Perfect is the enemy of good

    Compared to using the same password everywhere, easy for everyone to guess, which is the de-facto norm for non-tech people: using a Fingerprint for your devices is an improvement.

    What is missing from my point of view is an indication of which part of your finger is currently not propperly scanned. Remember on Android and iOS you can a visual indiciation on the fingerprint picture about which part you should scan next to get full coverage of your fingerprint. I assume this is not possible under linux because the information is not exposed by the fingerprint sensors to the system.

    My laptop has a face camera thing but not a fingerprint sensor, can they make that work? I looked into something before but it didn't seem to
