**Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

This is a bad idea:

1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

Please re-Toot.

@profoundlynerdy @cedric Would they be using raw biometric data? I would think it'd make more sense to do something like soft-u2f unlocked locally by fingerprint, but only the challenge-response is sent across the web. Raw biometric is bad both from security and efficiency standpoints
