In a world where every trivial or non-trivial website demands a password that is changed regularly please advise as to a safe, secure and practical way to save passwords that can be used on a variety of electronic devices in a variety of situations. It is the outdated password system that is at fault not idiot millenials that are at fault. I am 75 years old, am I a millienial?
But who decides who is the criminal. A presupposition is being made that because courts and feds want information the person is guilty. How can it be said that Apple is protecting the criminal before the evidence becomes avaiable. Once again the so-called war on terror becomes a tool to snoop upon anyony whose views may differ.
A PIN is much easier to steal than a finger. As suggested above the threat to steal a finger is a route to stealing a PIN. El Reg readers are paranoid in the extreme. It is so obvious that a fingerprint, albeit not 100% secure is vastly superior to a PIN. Also you cannot forget your fingerprint. If you forget your PIN you probably have to remember who you thought was your best friend at school. Maybe easy if you are a kid of 23 but less easy if you are 73. Fingerprints every time for me.
