"At time of writing, nobody outside of Apple has tested the security of
FaceID. So this article is about the security of facial recognition, and
other forms of biometric identification in general."

Good advice. In summary: biometrics are almost impossible to revoke when
compromised, so you should avoid using them wherever compromise is a
realistic possibility.

Cheers,
