Gromit: "I log into AB with my finger tip and it costs nothing. " - no, the target site does not store the fingerprint. The fingerprint App on the phone controls that. Web sites can choose to accept its verification but they do not access the actual finger print.

The fingerprint mechanism on your phone is very crude and as TTT says it doesnt store your fingerprint but an electronic stamp of how it interpreted it at the time.

The problem with Blairs suggestion is it being a digital ID. This means, if they wanted to (and it has been done in China and Canada) they can stop you buying anything if they wanted to.

A perhaps extreme example, but the way we are going who knows, if they decided everyone had x amount of Carbon credit once you had used it up then you couldn't go and buy some beef or fill your car. Your life would be frozen.

And on top of that what if it went wrong (It would be a Government database so probably left on a train by civil servants) in the wrong hands it would be a gold mine to identity fraud.

No, I agree with an ID card but not this.
