**Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

This is a bad idea:

1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

Please re-Toot.

@profoundlynerdy And also police can't force you to tell them password, but they can force you to touch the device and unlock it.

@Mac_CZ A sound argument for two factor authentication if I ever heard one! #2fa
