Nah I use fprint on my arch laptop so there is fingerprint login technology. Hopefully that doesn't have security vulnerabilities.

It has vulnerabilities for sure. But they haven’t been found because no one cares about hacking you or the 1 other person on earth that use Arch and fingerprint security.
