An increasing number of individuals are experiencing difficulties with fingerprint recognition systems due to the loss or degradation of their fingerprints. Activities that cause repeated wear on the fingertips, such as rock climbing, gaming, typing, or working with chemicals, can lead to diminished fingerprint patterns. This phenomenon highlights the need for alternative or multiple biometric factors in security systems, as current devices often rely solely on fingerprint data.
