Wouldn't that give the company that made it access to all your devices?  They could print more?  And even if that were not the case, it would be another thing for people to steal, like a key or combination, which kind of defeats the purpose of biometric type security.  Maybe I am just paranoid.

Source of that story here with video (Chinese site): https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/azr-yqe8VTY9ov5ITMzq_g? 

 

For $40 each, there is a company that will print your face on the mask but they haven't launched yet: https://wccftech.com/company-claims-it-will-create-face-id-compatible-masks-to-unlock-iphones/ 

 

iPhone's infrared projection system used for Face ID would normally not be fooled into opening based on a picture like that (Samsung uses the camera only and has been successfully spoofed using pictures and siblings; supposedly that's improving) , but if you train your iPhone to work on such a mask, then obviously half the face is identical no matter who wears the mask.  It would be interesting to know if the current iPhone would accept or reject this half-face on another person.

 

Video on how the Face ID IR scanner works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4m6StzUcOw 

 

You can also disable Face ID if you prefer. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Use Face ID, and disable iPhone Unlock or iPad Unlock.  You can also do that temporarily if you prefer: https://www.howtogeek.com/531453/how-to-temporarily-disable-face-id-or-touch-id-on-your-iphone/ 

 

If you're concerned about contamination using passcode unlock, you can bag your phone in a ziplock bag and it will still accept touch inputs for passcode etc.  iPhones can also be disinfected with hand sanitizer wipes or Clorox wipes: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204172?mod=article_inline  Numerous companies also sell UV disinfection devices.

Good Morning,

 

Do you know of a way to use the alternate Face ID on the Iphone to accommodate a face with a N-95 mask on.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Dr. Craig Leivent
