A thief flags you down, grabs your phone and makes you unlock it using your thumb.
A cop opens the cop car door, grabs your hand and unlocks your phone, or even easier, face unlock.
Granted, guns and torture are rather effective as well, but is anyone entirely against fingerprint unlocking?
it is an oxymoron. Biometrics are the equivalent of a username, not a password.
I like this perspective. Wish there were more implementations of a biometric + password combo.
100%. Pin plus fingerprint would be truly excellent in my opinion with minimal inconvenience.
