My point is a user name is something everyone knows i.e. not a secret.
Biometrics are not a secret as they are, in the case of fingerprints - easily picked from your Starbucks coffee cup, the door you just opened etc.
Your face is permanently on display.
Etc.
Your assertion that biometrics are not user-name equivalent is embarrassingly ignorant and you've already shown your inability to read or show much comprehension.
I shall therefore assume that you're unused to rational discussion and leave it there.
