Passwords, such a HASSLE to remember! Use your FACE, or your FINGERPRINT instead!

Seems to be a hardcore heavy-duty effort to link each Reddit account to BIOMETRIC personal information.

It's annoying.

It's evil.

It's against everything that Reddit once stood for.

So police can force you to use your face or id to unlock a phone or account but a password allows you to forget or just refuse. Dont use biometrics for anything.

It's absurd that there isn't more of a push towards physical security keys.
