Murdered Russian scientist is found naked with thumb hacked off by killer ‘who wanted to use it to access her phone'

Ok granted, she was reportedly already dead but imagine a future where fingerprints and/or iris scans are the normal and used to access everything from your front door, your car and your bank account, or perhaps even people are implanted with microchips.
We're told it's super safe because your biometric data or micro chips are unique to you but criminals will naturally evolve and rather than holding you at knife-point and demanding your pin number they'll instead just chop your finger off or gauge your eye out. I think I would rather just have a bit of money stolen than be mutilated on top of it so is it a step too far?
