I hate it when people steal my eyes and I have to get new ones. My mother’s maiden name is so much more secure.

Biometrics aren’t passwords they are usernames, passwords necessarily change I’m not changing my fingerprints or iris or bhole or whatever they want to scan.

It’s usually used as a second factor. You have your I’d card (something you have) and your bio (something you are). add that with a password (something you know) and you are pretty good

You think it’s easy to steal someone fingerprint or iris in a way that will work on scanners?
How?

Biometrics are not usernames. They are physical identifiers and unlike usernames you can’t change them.
I used to work in a datacenter that required you to go through a mantrap to access. It required three things:
To get to the datacenter floor you use a card key to open the door to the mantrap. It’s a small vestibule about the size of a phone booth. Once inside the door closes. You then enter your PIN on a keypad and place your hand on a biometric scanner. Once your hand is recognized the inner door opens and lets you into the datacenter. I was told the mantrap also weighed you and compared that with previous trips through to make sure somebody else didn’t sneak through with you.
