Reminds me of how Patreon has gone (itself, HQ'd in Ireland which isn't really forcing them to be this way but I digress, they put facescanning in during 2022).

Tho the flashing with the facescanning was unpleasant.

Interesting, though how much of a pain is it to use them on a desktop with no fingerprint/facescanning tech? and how about using them on like temporary workstations?
