This is also possible with Touch ID on iOS devices—one of my friends enrolled his nose and five toes. You can put multiple fingers or toes in one “finger” slot if you lift and set down different digits instead of the same one, albeit less accurately.

Enjoyable story. Please add to HBO's Silicon Valley script =)
