The use of biometrics as a password sounds like a bad idea.
Angela Merkel and Ursula von der Leyen are examples of this, fingerprints and iris scans lifted from mere photos.
In some countries even it is mandatory to store the fingerprints and photo from citizens, or at airports, what makes biometrics almost public.
Besides having all the logins under a single pin on a device that can be lost or stolen sounds just as bad, soon the people will be aimed to store them online to avoid it (trick-or-treat).
