My understanding is that FaceID and TouchID are more of convenience features than security features, so I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Shouldn't one just disable both of them and use a long passlock code if they are serious about security?
- MBCook 9y agoYep. They are designed to be more secure than no password or a simple 4 (now 6) digit PIN. Troy Hunt's article that was posted in the last two days had a very balanced view of it.
- valuearb 9y agoYou'd have to be super serious about security to disable either of them. If you are a high ranking government official, or super secret spy, maybe. Because with FaceID they can't spoof it with a photo, they can't break into the secure enclave to get your facial map data, and even if they are able to take a high resolution 3D photo of your face and build an identical mask to your face, it probably won't work. This and TouchID are the most secure authorization features ever created, because 100% of people will use them,, and less than 1% will create long passcodes.
- z6 9y agoThe problem with the pin is that you can easily see people entering them, and then you can easily get in. With TouchID and FaceID that part is a lot more difficult.
