The only form of authentication that will work long term is to run a hash on the entire person.
Basically instead of authenticating that it is the same person, you authenticate that whatever is attempting access shares enough characteristics with that person to use the resource in the same way.
Like, a perfect transporter clone of me can get access to my stuff, but it’s okay because he’s got my same goals and moral constraints.

What if you want to have more than one account with a provider, but you have only one face?

Are you serious or are you being pedantic and trolling? That doesn’t change my point, your face shouldn’t be the password to both accounts. It’s pretty easy to add another step for multiple accounts.

Ok, but the providers will not offer such a service. I’d gladly take 2fa using biometrics and a password/passkey with my username working as it always has.

I’m not saying biometrics should replace all usernames. I’m saying that they should be used as usernames/identification at best.

I have the same username at multiple websites…
