Keep MiB'ing your fingertips? Are fingerprint sensors gear?

After getting locked out of phone / password manager for the umpteenth time, I finally had the epiphany to only use pinkies for biometric sensors. They just seem to wear less. Feel dumb for not thinking of it till now... anyone else have tips on this?

PIN number?

I have to do full prints for work and for various permits every so often...The past couple times I got printed were "fun" for this reason. 

Other than official prints, I don't use finger print scanners for anything I don't have to because they're basically nonexistent at this point.

Good call, for those of us with good memories. I can never seem to remember different pins for different things. As far as security though, I think in general fingerprint would be stronger than even a long randomized password, much less a pin.

Summer - that's a whole different ballgame. I'm finding most laptops/phones have them these days, and it's a great feature (when it works!)

Thumb has worked best for me ever since it became required to get into my work computer. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
