    From a technical standpoint voice unlock is also quite bad, even worse than fingerprints. Just generally using biometrics as a key is a fundamentally flawed concept. Biometrics should be used instead of usernames if anything. They are identifiers not secrets.

      Yes. I would like to have biometric and PIN. If I’m feeling like trusting the device to keep the biometric data local.
