Calling a fingerprint "something you are" is a stretch. You are leaving fingerprints everywhere, they can be lifted from any smooth surface you touched (or even high-resolution photo) and then used to open biometric locks.

The fingerprint belongs to you. Calling it 'something you are' is conveying this, without claim to it being somehow difficult to clone or entirely unique. Mother's maiden name is similar in this regard.
