Fun fact: bio-metric data is subject to search warrants and seizure of bio-metric data does not violate the US 4th or 5th amendment. Meanwhile, PIN numbers etc., are protected under those amendments and one is not compelled to provide them. https://www.newamerica.org/weekly/biometrics-vs-fifth-amendment/

Woah. That's fascinating. I had no idea they were handled differently!

Give one some pause when considering a biometric passkey....

If you have an iPhone, squeezing the side button and volume up until the “side to restart” screen appears will turn off biometric logins until your lock screen pin is re entered

Idk how that interacts with the passkeys but still good to know
