Samsung Galaxy S8 Facial Recognition Already Defeated with Picture
-
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 is out and offers stunning new facial biometric recognition and, as everyone pretty much predicted, it has already been defeated by taking a selfie with another phone. Samsung just cannot catch a break these days.
Cue famous Are You Being Served? clip if anyone can find it.

Lol, I remember that from android 4.x days.
Everything old is new again. -
Seems like this was a ridiculously silly mistake to have made.

No need to make a backdoor when the front door is wide open

facial recognition IS subject to photo based tampering. I remember few years ago people was studing if a way was there to avoid this. but this is a well known problem with this approach.

I don't understand why they didn't do it like the Lumia 950xl... iris scanner. Infrared to light up the eyes, another to take the pic.

they also have it! fingerprint, face, iris, pin, sequence... they only miss the list of things in your fridge

Then how can a regular picture fool it? Seems like a software issue and not hardware.

Sounds like fingerprint readers and how easy they are to bypass.

I mean: you can either auth yourself via face or any other solution. Samsung AFAIK doesn't implement so named pure biometric 2 factor-auth. You have just to avoid face and fingerprint (as it is too close to camera). just use iris or sequence/pin...
I own a xiaomi redmi 4 and to be honest rear-fingerprint scanners are a bit of a pain... I alternate fingerprint to sequences...
