Hi,
in the case I mentioned, the datacenter provider (=Level3) removed hand
geometry scanners from its facility and switched all users to card +
pin. Also the provider is going to run this policy Germany- or even
Europe-wide, as being told by Level3 account rep.
The mentioned facility does n
Odd,
1. captcha(?)
In my millennia of experience I never saw a captcha used as a mean
for DC access control. Just as a programmatic way to reduce brute force
for some website functions.
On my network janitor keychain I have (in order of hackability from
easiest to hardest)

I agree that multiple levels are best and, for the moment, I'd frankly
be hesitant to give anything like finger print data since one can
never change that and the harm of it getting loose can not yet be
determined. (Not that the data being taken by these scanners is
necessarily all that grandiose.)
I would definitely not say that it is current best practice not to deploy
biometrics. As part of a holistic approach, biometric systems can improve
security greatly. As a singular approach, using it as a single factor for
authentication and authorization of access/actions, it's as terrible an

Since I'm not squeamish about such things, I do have tin snips and will
happily assist in revocation of compromised biometric authentication
factors.

fingerprinting at all sites.
If the current best operating practice is to avoid biometrics, why are they
