Actually doesn't that highlight one of the biggest flaws with this, in that your finger prints will already be all over the device? Lift the device, get the authorisation token for free. At least with a password you also need to either crack it or discover it from some other means.
- travisp 13y agoSo far, nobody has demonstrated an attack that is able to break the fingerprint reader by reading fingerprints off of the device (or another surface). The attack demonstrated by CCC requires them to take a high resolution photograph of your finger. It is likely substantially harder to just lift a good enough quality fingerprint to defeat the system.
