“Consumers recognize biometrics security tops passwords, Experian says” https://www.biometricupdate.com/202104/consumers-recognize-biometrics-security-tops-passwords-experian-says

We have to be curious to find out what the outcome would be if the consumers had been informed

that they would see biometrics bring down the overall security to the level lower than a password/PIN-only authentication

and

that they would have to face a huge inconvenience over their lifespan when their biometrics data, that cannot be cancelled, have been leaked.

Could their opinions remain the same?
