Updated biometric information, as it has become commonly available through webauthn. I think it would make sense to add a cheatsheet on webauthn, but I didn't want to be presumptive.

Thank you for your contribution!
I agree that this should be updated. But I'm not sure biometrics and webauthn should be used interchangeably. WebAuthn supports many factors that aren't biometric. If we're going to update this, which I think we should, we need to be clear to avoid any confusion.
Removed webauthn reference. Probably should have a webauthn page that could cover biometrics and webauthn and their relationship.
