All sounds great until you lose your phone or FIDO device, or it’s stolen, or your facial login is spoofed but still probably pretty great on the whole when combined with other methods.

      Biometric authentication methods are in general not very secure. Besides the fact there are a whole lot of procedures to fake/ spoof the biometric data. Once breached - you can not change your biometrics that easy. Keys and passwords can easily be replaced.

      Further, if you use biometric auth for a lot of services you open your self to a single point of attack - that is pretty similar using the same password for many services. And we don’t do that!
