Dr Vladas Leonas challenged me on the prediction #17 reading “The use of biometric authentication will become more widespread” https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-vladas-leonas-gaicd-facs-fieaust-16622b_23-cybersecurity-predictions-for-2023-activity-7015616996503425024-7NM7

My answer was -

Should it come true, we will see our already weak identity security further weakened as dissected in this short video — Biometrics in Cyber Space — “below-one” factor authentication https://youtu.be/wuhB5vxKYlg Criminals will be all delighted.

I would like, instead, to predict that 2023 will be the year that we will see the demise of the widespread misuse of biometrics authentication to the disappointment of global criminals.

* We are not against biometrics as a technology, but against the falsely-alleged effectiveness.
