There so many security fails in this video, its unreal Tom writes all his passwords on tiny pieces of paper, good ...
Are we going backwards in regards to security rather than forwards?

As with all accounts and devices, biometric authentication will also have recovery options In case of failure. So ultimately, It's the recovery credentials protecting the account/device and not biometrics.
Interesting viewing pertaining to online accounts and number of passwords used. A few years ago, I performed my very own research on a random user and his accounts. After a few weeks of testing and compromising, I Identified that he'd used the same login credentials (email:pass) for 30+ accounts.
Users are becoming more and more complacent with their online habits and as such, security (client-side) will continue to decline.

After 8 billion there was a high pitch noise that makes me want to punch the creator of the video.
Why on earth would someone put that noise in there... "Let's add a really annoying noise into a video that is supposed to get us customers"...
Anyways, the part where they went wrong is that you can't memorize passwords. You can, and they can still be secure, if you come up with something good enough...
There's multiple ways to go about this, so I won't go into it.
Biometrics aren't entirely secure either, no usable system is secure. In one of the examples, a women had her credit card stolen, or account hacked neither have much to do with passwords. Accounts are often hacked using phishing or MITM techniques (the latter is becoming increasingly rare), and credit cards can be stolen in many ways that have absolutely nothing to do with passwords.
Overall, I've seen worse, but this could've been better.
