"Face unlock was even weaker since anyone who had access to your photo could unlock it"
I thought that rumour was debunked by Google engineers within the first hour that it launched?
edit - The quote is "Responding to a Twitter message from someone who say Face Unlock could be hacked [with a picture of the person], Bray said, "Nope. Give us some credit.""
- dm8 15y agoI was following that when it was launched. But it was still easily defeated. Here's TheNextWeb article where they show a video on how easy it is to break that: http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/11/11/android-4-0-face-unlock-feature-defeated-using-a-photo-video/ http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/11/11/android-4-0-face-unl...
- meow 15y agohow would they make it photo proof ? I mean any guesses on the algorithm they use.. my dart in the dark would be that a photo would be absolutely still while a real person's face might twitch, shake, bat eyelids etc..
- DrStalker 15y agoMaybe they do something really clever and rely on faces being 3D and the phone not being held 100% still?
