Fingerprints should not be considered to be a password. They are a username. You can't rotate your fingerprints like you can rotate a password, and what is more you leave your fingerprints on everything you touch.
- LastZactionHero 10y agoYup. If I look at my phone right light, I can see the key to unlock the phone on the glass.
- sleepychu 10y agoThough since you know the shape you'd have to get someone else to try unless it's really clear.
- pizza 10y ago1. Place phone on scanner-bed 2. Open mirror image of fingerprint in photoshop and maximize contrast, crop to fingerprint alone 3. Print finger print mirror image to UV-stencil-type material 4. Etch into UV-material w/ UV printer 5. Pour rubber/plastic-type material over UV etching 6. Remove rubber thumb, apply to fingerprint detector, voila..
- heartsucker 10y agoCyanogenmod has a feature that lets you randomize the numbers on the keyboard each time you try to unlock it, if you use a PIN.
- abrookewood 10y agoTotally agree, though I'd extend this to all biometrics. If you can't rotate it, it should only ever be used as an identifier, not a password.
