“To protect users from fraud and identity theft, we now require biometric verification(...)” 🤡 FUCK OFF with that disgusting gaslighting!

Hey! Totally understand the concern. Here’s some context: We recently removed the Lightning feature from the app to stay focused on its core mission: secure, self-custodial Bitcoin savings. Lightning is still a promising technology, but the current self-custodial experience just wasn’t reliable enough for our users. We’re keeping an eye on it and plan to revisit it once it matures. As for the face scan, it’s part of our effort to comply with the new EU regulation DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). To protect users from fraud and identity theft, we now require biometric verification, but we do this WITHOUT storing any biometric data. We use Keyless, a privacy-preserving solution that creates a cryptographic key using your facial scan locally on your device. That data is NEVER stored by us or anywhere else )not on our servers, not in the cloud). It’s just a way to verify that you are you, while keeping your privacy intact.
