“Major Phone Brands’ Weak Face ID Technology Leaves Millions Vulnerable to Fraud”

Seven major phone brands were found to have weak Face ID technology, which millions of people use to secure their phones.

The study tested 48 devices and found 19 of them to be vulnerable to fraud.

The photos used were not even of high quality – just ordinary prints on paper.

All tested Apple phones passed counterfeit tests.

The consumer rights group is now urging anyone who owns an Android phone to turn off facial recognition and use a fingerprint sensor or PIN instead.

“It is unacceptable for brands to sell phones that can be easily spoofed using a 2D photo, especially if they do not inform their customers about this vulnerability,” said the Which editor.

Samsung responded that the company provides different levels of biometric authentication, with the highest level of authentication being the fingerprint reader.

Nokia confirmed that its affected phones have facial recognition software that does not have privileges in third-party apps, and is advising customers that the phone can be unlocked by someone who looks very similar.

When testing with printed images, it registered no issues.

Vivo said it informs customers during the phone setup process that facial recognition is less secure than other options it offers and that customers must review and agree to the privacy terms provided before setting up 2D facial recognition.
