i think fingerprints it's not that secure, it can be repliacated easily, by using the victim fingerprint, on any material that he/she may have touched, it's better to do it in another way like retina yes, or particolare code done with some gestures?

Good fingerprint replicas aren't easy to make. They take time and that's probably not feasible in most attack vectors.

Not sure I understand what you mean by gestures... Smiley
If bitcoin will use fingerprints password they need to have a very very good system for this type of password. Millions of prople are using bitcoin , so there will be millions of fingerprints, there will be lot of errors in log in. Maybe you want to login trough fingerprints but your phone is a bad model and it's scress doesnt reconize you fingerprints.
