Stop using biometrics for authentication!!!!!

Edit: lots of opinions below. Biometrics are a username, a thing you are. Finger printed can be taken from your laptop with a little powder and masking tape.

Use an authentacator app or security key kids!!

Not on my Lenovo. Fingerprint reader requires a swipe, no print left behind.

Mine does not work at all. I'd like to see the guy trying to take fingerprints for a few hours and realizing it won't do shit lol.
