I agree - not secure.

And just a daily reminder that biometrics are usernames, they are not passwords. You can change a password, a lock, a key, you cannot change biometrics, and thus they should not be used for guarding sensitive info.

The only use-case for biometrics is deanonymization, sold to you under the auspices of security, primarily used for corporate surveillance.
