    It’s a better way of logging in to things, makes it a lot harder for someone to steal your account. And also let’s you log in by scanning a qr code rather than having to type out a password via a controller

        you don’t give away any biological information, that’s not how it works at all.

        This might go over your head, but it’s based on a public/private key system, your device has the private key, gives playstation a public key. your device can (but does not have to) use bio authentication to unlock the private key when you want to login.
