Just like passwords can be stolen, fingerprints can be recreated and used to break into personal technology devices.
Because people often use personal information, such as birthdates and addresses, in their written passwords, their devices and accounts are often easily hackable.
Eye scanners and DNA-based security measures are significantly harder to fool, making these methods preferable to both passwords and fingerprint readers.
