Biometrics are "something you are" but they are not a good substitute for either "something you have" or "something you know".

My concern with them nearly always comes down to privacy. They are far too easy to abuse for collecting and selling user data. There are probably ways around that but how much will you ever be able to trust an opaque black box that pinky promises to irreversibly and uniquely hash your biometric data? It's an issue of trust and transparency.
