    biometrics were never safe to begin with.

    you cant be forced to give a password.

    but they can physically force your finger onto a reader. physically restrain you to do a face scan, and forcibly hold you down for an eye scan. They are not safe, or secure. Biometrics are less secure than setting your password to 1234 and carving “password is 1234” into your keyboard.

      I mean… you can absolutely be forced to give up your password. They just might keep it quiet…

        No, you choose to give up the password. You can die without ever giving up. You can choose to go to jail without giving it up. You can choose to be fired without giving it up.

        Even if you die, your biometrics can still be used against you, against your will
