JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building.

The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary.

However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times.

Biometrics aren't passwords they are usernames, passwords necessarily change I'm not changing my fingerprints or iris or bhole or whatever they want to scan. With how easy it is to copy someone's bio markers vs stealing their password this would be a huge security risk if they want to use it for entry to secured facilities.

You think it’s easy to steal someone fingerprint or iris in a way that will work on scanners?

How?
