That’s exactly why it’s a problem. The phones, at least the good ones, have better security and store the face map securely and allow it to be used for specific purposes in a secure manner. The faces being all over the Internet is also the problem why such systems are susceptible to attacks.

It may be convenient. It may be fast. But it’s certainly not safer.
I worry that this will become the future, where users might as well have a permanent tattoo on their foreheads saying “Please rob me”. I also wonder who’ll bear the time and money lost due to fraud and theft. “Someone stole your face, please change it” doesn’t sound like a solution.
