I was thinking about the literal fingerprint sensor a device has. Imagine a "prove youre not a bot" challenge and the finger scanner pulls up. What a nightmare, reminds me when a website asked me if I want to login with windows hello (facescan)

That is different though. That site is just creating a passkey and storing in your keychain (or windows equivalent). Windows hello unlocks the keychain. It can be your face, fingerprint, usb key, 4 digit pin anything. Chrome already uses this. You’re not sending your face to that website nor to microsoft, I hope.
