"We couldn't detect your face/fingerprints please enter your username directly instead."

What if you get into a car accident and no longer remember the master password to your hardware password safe?

What if you remember it but lost your arms and are no longer able to type?

The car accident scenario is not very useful.

You can write down your master password somewhere, or share it with a loved one. This is no different from having backups for important data. You can't easily backup your iris, face, or fingerprints.
