Thanks for the interesting video, FSB.

I forgot to mention another thing that I do to help keep my phone secure. I recommend everyone do this. When I leave my house, I turn my wifi off and when I get out of my vehicle, I turn off my Bluetooth. I read somewhere that if you're in a mall, for example, hackers can steal your data via your Bluetooth.
That is an excellent tip, Marky. Good on ya. If you use the new GPS feature for finding shopping locations and features in a mall you are also prone to marketing and data gathering by those companies. Nothing new there. :wink:
Now I have an excuse to stay out of the mall with the wife. :lol:

Good point. I wasn't aware of that feature but I won't use it now, thanks.

You can’t use it with closed eyelids and some close proximity and angle is required. No worries that a screen shot or camera hack will be of use because there are 2D/ 3D differences amongst other things like transmission and reception.

what about this? (those are stickers on his eyes in the bottom pic). And stickers would conform to the shape of his eyes, thus they are 3D.

If you really want to unlock using FaceID with closed eyes, there’s a setting for that. I doubt that the stickers would fool it though; the IR signature of closed-eyes-with-eyelid-stickers is likely a lot different than that of open eyes, and the IR signature is part of FaceID.

Actually to simplify the concept with the stickers given, and not to promote one manufacturer over another, it certainly would not be difficult to fool a shoddy system as with finger print analysis. In reality, it would be hard to find any completely foolproof system if history is any indicator. Good, better, best is attainable, however.

Any system worth its salt has probably taken this sticker and other foolery into consideration. There are late comers to this technology, some adopters, and there are others who have taken years of testing and development to get to the stage available today, and they are also tweaking it as we speak for a variety of applications. There are also a lot of partnerships with a lot to offer and a lot to gain by perfection.

Sceptic that I am, I want it to work, and I am sure the developers do too. What a breeze and treat it would be for a replacement or, at the very least, a better alternative for passwords. Passwords? What are they? Past tense would be so nice. It would at least put the amateurs out of business, and that’s a start.

Besides, one can’t say, “I forgot my face, although the computer could say I don’t remember you”. :lol:
As the French say, “Vive la différence”.

I don’t know if this sheds light on our thoughts cthulhu. If it’s any consolation, the same firm got credit for blowing Touch ID out of the water.

For all, FYI
