All the big supermarkets already share surveillance data with each other. If this is coming to Coles it’s probably coming to every big retailer in the country

True, but it’s also possible to lock your phone (or switch it off) so it needs a passphrase again. Using biometrics also means you’re entering your password less and so have less chance of being snooped on in public for example. And using face/touch ID makes it easier to have a longer/more secure password since you don’t need to enter it as often. There’s pros and cons to each but I choose to use biometrics

What’s the reasoning behind disabling biometrics?
