Yeah this sounds like final nail in the coffin idea

    Nah, since it is only an option (at least it read like this) not much would happen (again) I guess.

    Face recognition in smartphones is spread widely even though I know nobody using it.

    Facial recognition in smartphones is a very different thing from basically every point of view. Are you sure you don't know a single person using an iPhone? Chances are they'll be using FaceID to unlock their phone.

    I don't think I know a single person NOT using biometrics to unlock their smartphone.

    Edit: I'm sure there at least 3 people on Lemmy that don't use biometrics but that doesn't change anything I'm pretty sure :D

    Edit edit: another one! Maybe there are at least 4 people now.
