"Your fingerprint is your username, not your password"


A fingerprint is not suitable as a username (as it can be physically damaged unrecoverably) or as a password (because it cannot be freely changed if potentially compromised.)


No. Not even that. A fingerprint just directly implies presence. And it doesn't even have to be intentional presence either.

A handscan I could see being a login. Because your not going to easily lift that as a fingerprint partial.
