‘I sold my iris; now what?’: What drives Brazilians to hand over their unique, personal data
Nope. Like all biometrical data, you can't just replace the body part once the data is compromised. It's at most suitable for ease of access.
For example, Merkels fingerprints were "reverse-engineered" from photos using common wood glue.

Yep, this discussion has been done to death decades ago when datacenters and other secure facilities started using iris scans.
Biometrics is the username, not the password.
It's frustrating that so many reporters and news orgs can't grasp this.
Yup, I use my fingerprint for my phone because it's convenient, but require my pin (6 numbers) on boot, and my phone reboots a couple times each day (after a set time not using it). Anything more important uses a very long password.
So it could restart, you wouldn't know and don't receive calls because you haven't authenticated?
