I do not know any hardware wallet that can generate wallet using fingerprint or face identity but have you read about passkey before? Some wallets are now using it to generate wallet and save your fingerprint or face ID on the cloud like Google cloud or so. Although, the wallets that are using it are likely having seed phrase if you later go to the wallet setting to check for the seed phrase but I am not sure if that is how it is on all wallet that support passkey.

Never heard of passkey before. By searching it on Google, it pointed me to a passkey website it seems it's a Web3 wallet, and according to them, it doesn't generate a seed phrase, no browser extension, no email verification is required, and any biometrics are supported.

They claimed it is self-custody, but I do not believe it is any safer than using a seed phrase to generate a wallet, and the sad part is that that wallet is currently in demo mode.

Anyway, I tried the wallet it still requires email with no verification, and it only asks for your phone biometrics or pin/password to generate the wallet.

yes, a cold wallet with iris sanner

You can create a wallet with biometrics such as iris, fingerprint, etc but it's not possible to create one entirely based on the biometrics alone unless is custodial and someone manages the things for you at the back end by you only see the biometrics to access your wallet.

Consider it's more like an authenticator that just adds another security layer o your wallet but it shouldn't be the only wallet of access/backup for your wallet because remember biometrics are not infallible so even if someone makes it possible to create a wallet only with iris it's not recommended to use.

If that's a hardware or software wallet you looking for it does not exist iris scanner is just extra security feature on phones to use as alternative for pin/password. I never heard a wallet that generates a wallet with our iris and I don't think even it exist its not safe because anyone can make a copy of your iris by taking a picture.

Seed or Mnemonic phrase should be much safer than generating a wallet with your iris.

It is true that it is not secure.

I remember there was an announcement thread for one of these things a while back, but I'm not going to link it to what I can only assume is a thinly veiled marketing thread

Also I believe it was pretty much vaporware at the time the thread was posted.

Do you guys ever heard about the latest in tech-savvy bio-cold wallets to use your iris to unlock wallet? i really need one to give up the long and ugly mnemonic phrase.

Why would you want to give up ''ugly'' mnemonic phrase?
This Iris is not a cold wallet as far as I know, just another software mobile wallet that needs to have internet connection to work.
Cold wallets should not have connection to internet and other devices.

I do not know much about the hardware wallets that have passkey which could be what that you are referring to. I mean the software wallet that you will use for it will broadcast the transaction with your fingerprint or face scanner on your device. I do not know how this would work but I know that it is possible. I can not use such a wallet that is not secure.

What's the advantage of an iris-generated seed compared to existing ones like fingerprint or other biometric seed generator? How would you ensure there's enough entropy and your "seed" is properly secured? Would a simple video/photograph of our eyes generate the same key? I don't think it's worth sacrificing security for convenience in this case. I have a bad experience with biometric-based security so I might be biased, but I'd love to hear an analysis of why it's worth using our iris as a seed to generate a private key. CMIIW.

Or are you talking about a cold wallet that generates a wallet with iris scanner?
Never heard of them and take note mnemonic phrase or seed is mostly supported by all wallet that is the only backup to recover wallet anytime to other wallets and I never heard that there's a iris cold wallet than can recover your wallet by scanning your iris.

Never heard of any of them but you can add it on Electrum like mine I have iris save on my phone to unlock wallets but I think depends on what phone you were using. Mine is s9+ it does have iris scanner built in on the leftside of earpiece.
