    Jokes on them, my fingerprint scanner refuses to recognize my fingerprint 75% of the time. Maybe because I use GrapheneOS

      Well lucky you tbh, they’re insecure (it’s basically a password that can never be changed and can legally be compelled by the feds unlike an in-brain password), could in theory be used quite literally to fingerprint you, and can’t be used with gloves or dirty hands or even sometimes sweat.

      didn’t google pixels only recently switch to ultrasonic scanners instead of optical ones? if your fingerprint scanner has to light up with a bright light, it’s usually less good
