Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that.
instead of scanning your face (which can be spoofed) or fingerprints (which can be copied), these systems scan the ‘pattern’ of the veins running inside your palm – something that’s unique to you, and absolutely can’t be faked.
Consider me sceptical.
If something could read them then I’m sure something can take that and copy it
A few years ago I saw a talk how some hackers where able to fool arm vein scanners. I think it was a talk on the chaos communication congress
Why do people assume that a new biometric is more secure than the ones already in use? In all cases, an authority figure only has to knock you out and they have all the access they need.
Even Spaceballs shows just how easy this is to defeat.
My voice is my passport, verify me.
Welp, I know what I’m replaying this weekend.
(On second thought I don’t know if you’re quoting the game Uplink, or Sneakers. Both are good)

Great until you lose your arm in an arms race or something. Locked out of your own home, armless. Lost the race, arm and home.
Palm biometrics is less worse because you have the option not to give in to biometrics, unlike facial biometrics that there is no option not to give in
