>Tricking sensors with printouts etc. is a red herring, real issue here is the bit stream that's somehow generated by the scanner, comparable to a password hash.
now you're talking about doing the equivalent of cracking the encryption in hardware banking devices. good luck with that. even if you cracked one, the bank could just deactivate it.

>Well, once someone got your finger print it becomes useless for the rest of your life. + why even use fingerprints if you don't care they suck and you're just gonna use pin codes for the actual security?
simply a pin code isn't secure enough. that's why you have the devices like in pic related. a device like this can guarantee to the bank's server with practically 100% certainty that the user is in possession of the device. if the device also has a secure fingerprint sensor such as one from NEXT, the bank can know with practically 100% certainty that the user is YOU.
