- What you know.
- What you have.
- What you are.

Combining them is great. Using just one of them as your ultimate method of authentication is quite weak security.

Cryptography is the best way to prevent hacking as long as private keys are randomly generated offline and kept offline.

Well i was thinking almost every laptop has this feature. Why not enable a system which use finger print to send payments this will eliminate the hacking. Iphone too has finger print so this can be applied if done properly what do you think guys?

Ok, how am I'm out of the loop - almost every laptop takes fingerprints now? (Sorry I haven't used Windows in years.)
No, not every laptop has a reader, but Windows now has built in Biometrics support based on standard driver models.

Fingerprints are bad for 3 simple reasons
#1 cant change them (well, 10 times)
#2 you leave them literally everywhere
#3 easy to fake, CCC iPhoneX fingerprint hack took hours after release.
