All sounds great until you lose your phone or FIDO device, or it’s stolen, or your facial login is spoofed but still probably pretty great on the whole when combined with other methods.

And with Adobe implementing AI into their photoshop tools, like it's great for photo editing and making a smoother work flow but there's always the negative side. And they did say that in the meta data it would show that an image had AI used on it but the everyday consumer of media won't know and or even think of checking into that.

Biometric authentication methods are in general not very secure. Besides the fact there are a whole lot of procedures to fake/ spoof the biometric data. Once breached - you can not change your biometrics that easy. Keys and passwords can easily be replaced.

Further, if you use biometric auth for a lot of services you open your self to a single point of attack - that is pretty similar using the same password for many services. And we don’t do that!
