    If your interview involves telling me a username is “something you are” rather than “something you know”, I’m running away from that job as fast as I can.

        By this same logic, other people could know your fingerprint since it’s “something you are”. No, other people cannot know your fingerprint. It’s a complex mathematical equation to a computer. This is such a terrible take.

        I guarantee you I know thousands of people’s passwords as well, I just don’t know the username associated.
