Should you use fingerprint unlock on your device? The answer is not going to be the same for everyone. In this video, I look at the benefits and tradeoffs of using fingerprint readers, and try to compare the security of fingerprint unlock vs a pin or password. A major factor to consider is actually what kind of device you have.

14:40 Summary
Fingerprints are more like usernames than passwords. They’re unique, static and identifiable as belonging to you. But Fingerprint security is also very convenient, and for many people shouldn’t be ruled out as an option. We are constantly unlocking our phones all through the day. So choose something that will be sustainable for you and is justified by your threat model, otherwise you might drive yourself insane. There is no perfect answer when it comes to phone security, so make a decision based on your unique context.
