Thanks for the link! But my approach to it wasn't really from "is it a 
problem in practice" but more "should this be the advice we give" and 
"what's wrong with just using the fingerprint and be done with it 
forever". We always tell users to use the fingerprint if they need to be 
sure of authenticity. Or if I'm mistaken about that, I think we should.

My 2 cents,

Peter.
