Fingerprints Are Usernames, Not Passwords (2013)
Fingerprints can be changed as easily as a username. Simply never use the "raw" fingerprint output of the device, instead XOR it with some key (like either something from factors 2 or 3, or simply a static key).

That's not changing the fingerprint that's using another password.
