Question

question: 8
biometric authentication is secure because biometric traits, such as fingerprints, are unique to each individual. however, it is not without its risks. what is a tradeoff, or a potential negative consequence, of using biometric authentication?
biometric data is sensitive and raises privacy concerns.
biometric authentication is unreliable and is wrong more than it is right.
biometric authentication takes significantly longer than other forms of authentication.
using biometric authentication creates a single point of failure for access to all accounts.

Explanation:

Biometric data (like fingerprints) is unique and personal. If compromised, it can't be changed (unlike a password). This makes privacy a major concern as such data misuse could have long - term implications. Biometric authentication is generally reliable (so the "unreliable" option is wrong). It doesn't take significantly longer than many other forms (e.g., typing a complex password). And it doesn't necessarily create a single - point - of - failure for all accounts (as accounts can have multiple authentication methods).

Answer:

Biometric data is sensitive and raises privacy concerns.
