.. but biometrics can be lost too. I could lose my finger, I could have a facial injury. The algorithm could be changed and suddenly I can't log into anything anymore. Or I simply age and my faceId stops working some day.
I don't know but biometrics only sound smart initially but it seems very brittle if you think about it. Plus there are plenty of stories of people who were able to unlock somebody else's phone randomly. Just google "unlocked my friends phone via faceid".
This all seems like such theater for nothing. I think a simple "own this usb stick = it's proof that you are you" is a very nice 2 factor without any biometrics. Create a usb stick that needs to be unlocked via a passcode to work and voila.
- threeseed 4y ago* On Apple devices TouchID allows you to register multiple fingers. And if you have a severe facial injury it will fall back to a password if it can't identity you. * No one is unlocking their friends phone via FaceID unless they are unconscious and they have deliberately disabled the awake-detection feature. * It is not theatre for nothing. It is a far more secure and convenient form for authentication.
