Great news, I was pretty shocked that the original flaw still existed. Getting your phone stolen is annoying but the worst case is you buy a new phone, but thieves being able to take over your digital life is potentially catastrophic.
Hopefully this works well, I assume third party apps such as banking will be able to opt in to the additional protection (not sure if this is strictly required actually, I checked my banking app and if Face ID fails you have to enter the banking PIN, you can’t enter the device PIN).
Is there a way to lock individual apps so they require Face ID even if they weren’t designed to? A smart thief having access to the Gmail app for example, if the phone was unlocked when stolen, could wreak havoc.
