I am sorry to disclose that our site had a security breach.
Please change your fingerprints to a new secure fingerprint before
using the site.

Hence assuming the implementation is secure. When you use more secure
authentication factors, the ability of the remote system to keep them
secure needs to be higher. In other words, you have to _trust_ the
remote site to be able to keep your unique data secure.
