Researchers Demonstrated Method for Bypassing Face ID on an 'Unconscious' Victim's iPhone Using Glasses and Tape

wrong. you need the attention of the victims face. try closing your eyes and try to unlock with faceid. it wont work unless you manually disabled attention awareness in settings (it's on by default)

How do you know attention awareness is activated until you try it? After all you can’t get into the phone.

Haha! The answer is no it doesn't. An article covered this some years ago.

Yes Face ID is one in a million a random person can unlock it with their face while Touch ID is one in 50.000 a random person can unlock it with their finger. So Face ID is 20 times as secure as Touch ID.

in theory yes. at least thats what apple says on the release. here we talk on unlocking the phone of a sleeping or unconscious person. here FaceID would be less secure as you dont have to touch the person to unlock the phone. =bigger chance to wake up.

but practically, its as secure. you phone is not stolen 50.000 or one million times. its stolen maybe once or twice. lets say that chances for random dudes to unlock your phone both are "very low".

FaceID and TouchID together would be great, and make a lot of scenarios easier compared to only faceID which sucks compared to TouchID in some areas. i am so annoyed with the face hoovering with faceid, so touchid would be much welcome. and noone says it cant be in addition to faceid.

i think you need to read the article dude, otherwise you wont understand the discussions.. they bypassed the functionality you mention with a pair of glasses with tape and a dot..

I was talking about if you don't use the glasses. But ok, you mentioned they just need to hold the glasses in front of the face.

So...where does it say you just need to hold them in front of the face? The article specifically mentions these statements:

By merely placing tape carefully over the lenses of a pair glasses and placing them on the victim’s face

The attack itself is difficult, given the bad actor would need to figure out how to put the glasses on an unconscious victim without waking them up.

The attack comes with obvious drawbacks – the victim must be unconscious, for one, and can’t wake up when the glasses are placed on their face.

Doesn't say "HOLD IN FRONT". It needs to be placed "ON THE FACE" which will wake the user up. Maybe you need to read the article, dude.
