surprisingly good. I like to use BioWallet as an example - you use your
finger to "sign" the screen of your phone to unlock a secure wallet. If I
hand my phone to someone and tell them my password, they can't get in.
Because of google authenticator etc... access to my phone is too important to
use my finger (and I encrypt it):
- I cannot forget my finger, with a password I can choose to go to jail or
remembering my password
- my passwords will die with me. If you kill me, you won't get my password, my
fingers... "on the other hand"!
mythbusters showed that you could fool fingerprint readers with a gummi bear
(and more advanced readers without much more)
They may be unique, but they are also extremely hard to change if duplicated :-)
