Well, I think most people don't understand how biometric works, which is
why there is an illusion of security. People don't understand its basically
a complicated password generated algorithmically at scan time.

But in that sense, it still is better in most cases where end users get to
pick passwords and they pick 123456. It'll be better then 90% of the
passwords in use and will require the hacker to have physical access to the
device, which is quite a big barrier.
