**Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

This is a bad idea:

1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

Please re-Toot.

@profoundlynerdy SO Disney World required my finger scan, to get in the park...and the supervisor I demanded to speak with, couldn't understand why I didn't want them to have it, or retain it. But my kids wanted to go...so I went along thinking all the things you just mentioned. :(

@digasi Yeah, that sucks.

Disney has changed a lot, I'm sure. I haven't been to Disney Land since Reagan. I feel old.
