ᐅ Front Door – Door Code or Fingerprint?

Hello everyone,
I wasn’t able to find any relevant information on this topic.
Today, we visited the window manufacturer and also discussed front doors.

Since I often forget my key (at least I don’t lose it), and frequently have to crawl around in the garden to fetch the spare key, I would like to install an entrance door system in our new build that can be opened preferably with a door code or fingerprint (and optionally also with a key).

So far, I don’t see any clear advantage of one system over the other.

And no, it’s not enough to have a spare key in the car or at the neighbors’—I definitely want a system that works without a key.

Ekey is also state-of-the-art – they are very reliable. I had one installed in my mailbox – it opens both the door and the mailbox.

Entering a code would be too insecure for me – over the years, it becomes obvious where you always tap. You could be observed, and in the end, entering a code is also somewhat annoying... like on a mobile phone.

but only the new version... the old one is, to put it mildly, unattractive...

Does anyone know how secure the fingerprints/devices are? With smartphones, it’s quite easy to fool the devices (see, for example, Ct/heise). You can also find fingerprints on the door, for instance.

Codes are meant to be changed every few months. That way, nothing can be seen.

But in practice, nobody does that.
