Just to clarify, it wasn't just the increased resolution that was required here, but "latex milk", I assume to simulate a living finger, as well. It's not as simple as print-of-print = unlock.
- exodust 13y agoIt's "latex milk" today, tomorrow it might be just "regular milk" that's needed! The point is that the fingerprint security was bypassed so soon after release, and posted on the internet. Sure, it takes a lot of effort with the first generation of this hack. No matter how cool the fingerprint tech is on iPhones, you wouldn't go as far as using it for your master access to your password manager app or bank account app. For the purpose of replacing the lock screen pin, or as others have said, no pin at all, I think it's fine.
