I appreciate there is still some stigma around facial-recognition in the U.S. I will not visit the U.K. until they fix their shit.

I've always been fine using Face ID or Touch ID because it's stored on device, but I'm curious if normies using it know that or they're okay with their biometrics being sent off their device.

I've never understood why anyone would be comfortable with Face ID or Touch ID given all the possible attacks. Just use a PIN. You'll end up knowing it as a kinesthetic reflexive action anyways.
