Trusting Revolut when they say that your personal data is safe... man, I'd better not
Every online business that collects photo ID has been hacked and those IDs have been stolen. Just saying.
Yes but there's a big difference between IDs and biometric data, not to mention you can (in Europe at least) revoke an ID if you find it's compromised, you can revoke an ID you can't revoke your face.
This is the important part. Faces are immutable. Unless you're a weird celebrity, you only get one.
Attaching your financial data and/or private data to something that cannot be changed and CAN be stolen or reproduced is a terrible fucking idea.
While real security technologies are moving toward ephemeral, short-lived credentials to fight credential reuse and theft, we have these fucktards going in the complete opposite direction.
Your face is NOT a password.
