🐧 Why are fingerprints/biometrics considered a password rather than username?


Nachrichtenbereich: 🐧 Linux Tipps
🔗 Quelle: reddit.com

I hope this doesn't get removed as a question for another sub...as I'd like to know the opinion of the developers here.

I'm not entirely comfortable with a biometric being my password, but it does seem like a good way of securing my username. Is this currently possible, or does enrolling a fingerprint currently only allow me to use it as a password?
