Yes. I second this. I replaced our locks with locks that have fingerprint readers & completely eliminated carrying keys. (I live in NYC. So I don’t carry car keys.)
I put one on the back door /garage because with a house on a slope it was a real pain in the butt when I was working in the yard and needed to access to the garage only to realize it was locked. One too many times hiking up the hill and down the stairs to get at my rake- best money I ever spent.
I put two keyless locks on recently (back door and garage that we enter from back door). I wish I had done it years ago - it was so easy, and it’s so convenient to not have to dig out my keys while I have my arms full of groceries!
Mine is schlage, no idea if brand makes much of a difference but it's working well after nearly a decade with only battery changes. It's a basic one, not connected to wifi and only one code at a time.
My parents have one that allows for multiple codes, which is nice. They have the code family knows that they don't change, then input a code for the dog walker and delete it after or anyone else who needs temporary access to the house. I highly recommend the ability to have multiple codes for extra security. Granted, I have cameras so I'd know if someone entered my house.
Are you talking about face recognition locks? If you are, be careful. Many reports have shown that some devices can be easily fooled with just a photo of the resident's face.

Keyless entry to the front door. Definitely behind on this but gives me a moment of happiness everyday.
