Due to a recent cyber incident, here, the login credentials (authentication)
on your account need to be updated. Could you please use a DIFFERENT finger, in the future? If you have already used all of them, may we suggest TOES?"

That webpage article is more than 5 years old.
Biometric security is still an issue. For example: <https://bluegoatcyber.com/blog/biometric-security-and-the-gummy-bear-attack/>
How many OTHER biometric signatures can you present? E.g., if
"left thumbprint" is compromised (to access system X), then you move
on to "right thumbprint" (for example).

I seem to remember another option which was popular among office staff
when photocopiers were first introduced. It resulted in a number of
broken glass injuries that were awkward to explain. :-)
Bank tellers use a palm scanner. (what happens when your SECOND palm
is compromised??)

What means compromised in this context?
Someone is able to extract/copy the data that uniquely identifies YOUR
palm so they can fabricate a passable emulation of it and masquerade
as you (to whatever is authenticating "you").

Sorry, you cannot use your last ten fingers.
Sounds like a new authentication policy.
Cheers
