I certainly expect to be able to choose which option I want to use, specially if Apple wants to keep my business. I have no problem remembering long complex passwords and have adapted to the phone authentication method as well. For our own sake, it would be best if we continue to use things ONLY we remember, to authenticate ourselves, otherwise we may be in trouble.

For instance, I recently heard of an older couple who allowed the husband's brother to visit them to talk about a new business he was in. Essentially he wanted to visit the couple with his "mentor" because he needed to "practice". At the end of their visit the couple had been persuaded to: join the "business" as members, for a monthly fee, which was going to be charged to their credit card. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A PYRAMID SCHEME! Anyways, after the visit, the terrified the woman immediately called the bank and had them cancel the card, so everything ended up being okay. Imagine if they had handed over their fingerprints! You won't be able to call the bank to tell them to send you a new fingerprint.

I'm looking forward to CHOOSING to locking the whole device, so that I can actually have a lock "code" (whatever form) that isn't subject to a 3-year-old poking at it so much the device locks itself up for an hour or more thinking it's under attack.
