* Sleeping victims
* Attacker holds the phone to your face
Its not as simple as using the 'wrong finger'. You only have one face.
This is awful, Apple. What were you thinking?
- Flockster 9y agoYou have to actively look at the display to unlock it. So sleeping wouldn't work.
- 45h34jh53k4j 9y agoJust wait. Id rather not even deal with these scenarios at all. Where is touchID?!? Why did they ship this without it!?
- josefresco 9y agoWhat about if you're dead? Would law enforcement, medics and/or family be able to use your (recently) deceased face to unlock? Would that be legal?
- X86BSD 9y agoClearly you have no understanding how it works and did not watch the keynote.
- 45h34jh53k4j 9y agoI did. I guess you have more info as you are an apple engineer and are breaking NDA?
- ben174 9y agoThe keynote mentioned multiple times that the face must be actively engaged. Passers by or sleeping faces won't work. Maybe watch it again.
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 9y agoIt would be trivial to simply observe which finger a person uses with Touch ID to unlock their phone (something people are doing in public every single day). Something tells me 99% of people are using at least one thumb. And then in your sleeping victim scenario the phone can still be compromised. If you have people in your physical space while you sleep that you cannot trust to not mess with your phone, then you have other serious security problems. That being said, I also prefer Touch ID because it still appears to be much faster. But it offers no additional security over Face ID, and based on what was said, Face ID is more secure in other ways.
