Biometrics is to Password what Back door is to Front door
Let me try to make the relation of a biometrics and a default password clearer with the picture of a house with a front door of a deterministic password system, to which a back door of a probabilistic biometrics system was added as another entrance.
Residents are required to use the seemingly-convenient back door as the first choice for entry, until they get falsely rejected there. The residents rejected by the probabilistic biometrics authentication at the backdoor would be required to try the front door of a deterministic password authentication. The correct residents with correct memory will enter the house.
If the one-door house was not secure enough in the first place, the two-doored house is made even less secure. Bad guys, who are now given the chance to break the back door as well as the front door, can enjoy an increased attack surface., i.e., lowered defense.
Now, we have thus reconfirmed that the claim that biometrics contributes to identity security is falsity.
Ref: “What's driving those people to keep spreading the biometrics misinformation”
Incidentally, what ‘being probabilistic’ means is that it cannot escape the trade-off between False Acceptance (false positive/false match) and False Rejection (false negative/false non-match) and therefore it cannot be used on its own without sacrificing the availability, whereas ‘being deterministic’ means that it can be used on its own.

That's quite possible. I do hope your extended password system can help remedy this. All the best!

It might have happened benignly. But I do not believe it can benignly continue to be as such for as long as two decades. I assume that the benign motive was displaced by a logic-discarding business calculation long time ago.

Probabilistic (or stochastic as it's often called) is the biggest cop-out to any problem that needs to be solved in science, in a reasonable amount of time. If you ask any scientist worth his salt he'd tell you that he prefers a deterministic solution whenever possible. The sad thing is that there are deterministic solutions to many problems (e.g., data sampling and even clustering), but the engineers involved were never asked to solve these problems properly. I don't think it's the engineers that are to blame though. Sometimes, the problem is more complicated as there are requirements regarding the time the solution takes. In CS it's not any different apparently, since convenience has become the main requirement for many systems. Cheers
