  on If A Phone's Facial Recognition Security Can Be Defeated By A Picture Of A Face, What Good Is It?
  I'm with you, but it does depend on your threat model. At home, the primary threat to my phone is my horrible, attentive, shoulder-surfing kids who invariably work out every digital passcode after watching me for a few weeks. Fingerprint unlock is perfect for this scenario. At the US border, not so much. That's a time to depend on a passcode locked inside my head.
