FIDO and Biometrics

I recently mentioned that Expanded Password System powered by citizens’ non-volatile episodic memory is perfectly compatible with the device-based #FIDO-specified solutions for building a robust multi-factor authentication (*1)

Today let me refer to #biometrics which is said to play a big role for password-repelled (passwordless) FIDO-specified solutions.

Biometrics could play a good role in them if the objective of those solutions are to provide better availability and convenience, not good security (*2), where citizens are ready to risk their most sensitive privacy data for lowered identity security (*3).

Considering deployment of FIDO-specified solutions for solid security? — Then, it would be wise to not consider using biometrics products in the authentication schemes, irrespective of whether these solutions are to be enhanced by Expanded Password System or not.
