**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 I think you're misunderstanding how biometrics work in this application. Biometric data isn't sent over the network; it's used to unlock a secret stored in a local secure vault. Along with retry limits it's just a thin layer of security on top of the need to possess the device. Almost certainly more secure than a password and definitely more convenient.
