And as a part of extra security my password manager will not accept
biometric finger print access - no doubt for fear that someone has
pinched my finger for nefarious purposes.


Fingerprint readers can be fooled by lifting a print from a surface &
impressing it onto a gelatine "finger".


And it is perfectly possible for the fingerprint sensor to
check if it’s a live finger, and not one on a corpse etc.
