I'm rather concerned about the face recognition part and how easily that might be fooled. Has anyone tried that? It's an interesting take on a password manager though, I do like the second factor through an additional device before it grants access.
Considering the security concerns regarding the IME, I doubt that it is a good idea to hand your passwords over to Intel (ME). At least I don't want to support this technology by using apps that utilize the IME.
To read up on the IME there is a free book by one of the developers on it...

Inside is an entire chapter on Intel's identity protection.
>AES-256, one of the strongest encryption algorithms available Hmm... I'd take 4096-bit GPG over this any day. I rather like using pass[0] [0] https://www.passwordstore.org/

Your fingerprint like your face can be the username, but never the password.
Your fingerprint is exactly like your username: you cannot change it and you always leave it in public.
+ As fdik said above, you can't change your fingerprint or face easily, and it's always public
+ Face recognition and fingerprint scanning are not robust against spoofing — there are known ways to circumvent both
+ You can be compelled to authenticate a biometric without a warrant
Don't use biometrics as a password; use them as a username.
They never seem to understand: Your fingerprint like your face can be the username, but never the password. Your fingerprint is exactly like your username: you cannot change it and you always leave it in public.
Security isn't black and white.

You can use fingerprints as a password. They aren't perfect but in many situations they are fine. Security isn't black and white.
Provided you have them, medical amputations of limbs is a thing that happens.

True Key makes use of the Intel Management Engine (IME). It gives a hint at what Intel is up to with the IME. One of the intended uses is "identity protection", storing secrets like e.g. biometric data in the realm of the IME, and to ultimately get rid of passwords.
