The fingerprint isn't really a security thing since you must have a pincode or password to use the fingerprint feature. So basically when you use the fingerprint feature, your real security is a pincode or password. The fingerprint is just there to open your phone faster.

[@Benzyl_Penoxide]

Lyn why? 😂😂😂

[@mongodroid4842]

@@Benzyl_Penoxide It's better and safer

[@timothylangheim4992]

It’s not, passcodes are for when your finger is sweaty or something and the finger print scanner doesn’t work

[@allanrichardson1468]

In the US there is an extra level of legal protection in using a passcode rather than a fingerprint. If you should be arrested (or detained “by consent”) by police acting outside their constitutional authority, I.e. no search warrant, it is legal for them to force your phone up against your finger to unlock it, but not to force you to reveal information, such as a passcode, that would violate your Fifth Amendment protection against possible self incrimination. So if your phone (at least an iPhone) is powered off, it must be unlocked the first time after powering on by the passcode; the fingerprint will not work. And you have a right not to provide that.

[@orangedude5610]

Yeah, you don't put your toe prints anywhere, and nobody is going to ask for your toe print, so using your toe is the best way to unlock your phone

[@edg6779]

All phones I know of require a backup password for biometrics, so they're a useless security feature

[@GummieI]

This exactyl, my current one even tell me every now and then (and every time after a reboot) that I need to type in my password for security reasons (WAIT WHAT?), annoying as all hell, as that forces me to use a password that is remember-able and thus inherently weaker since I have to use it somewhat frequently

[@vera_nika2]

Not to mention that in many countties fingerprints are stored, like when u get a US visa etc

[@ankitjains]

How can biometric be any more safe than pin code. All the phones require you to input a pin code as a backup for fallback where biometric authentication fails. Am I missing something?

[@SyukriLajin]

yes. and then the same pin can be use to add their own fingerprint into the system. so now they have access to everything that was set up the fingerprint scanner instead of their original password( google play payment, android pay, banking apps). it's like having one master password for everything, but the password to access the masterpassword is a 4 digit pin or a dumbass pattern.

[@TranscendTheSun]

Yeah, biometrics are not very secure, but they are hella convenient, instead of have to turn it on and swipe it and put the passcode in, all you gotta do is pick up your phone and tap the button

[@cloroxbeach647]

Also there are ways of tricking the Phone without the password, no guessing, no "gummy finger" just a USB and a couple programs.

[@danielfisher3274]

I don't get it tho. If you use a fingerprint unlock, you still need a pin as a back up so it's no safer. Because you still have a pin or pattern code

[@FancyTracks]

Daniel Fisher If only using a pin someone can easily watch you enter it and do it themselves. If you have a pin as backup no one will see you use it because your fingerprint is usually scanned correctly.

[@abhishekgourav6144]

Azerty but still it leaves the smartphone vulnerable...imagine some asshole running some complex program with some crazy algorithms to hack into the phone...

[@FancyTracks]

abhishek gourav Yeah but most assholes don't have the knowledge to do that or the money...

[@leonro]

abhishek gourav If he can hack it, he can probably bypass the fingerprint scanning as well.

[@abhishekgourav6144]

Slippy Toad bypassing fingerprint scanner doesn't require programs..i saw a video couple of days ago on a channel named BCD tech..he created a replica of his own fingerprint using hot glue as mould and used white glue to create a thin film and used it to unlock the screen...ofcourse i don't support these videos even if they are flagged as educational as it can still be used to do bad stuff...

[@sane8218]

Yeah but when you set up fingerprint, iris... you still need to set a pattern pin or password for backup so nothing is secured...

[@cenationofjnu]

Make password, pattern etc difficult as much as you can.. If we can't stop it, then at least make it difficult for hackers.

[@jaguarxta]

I don't use biometric unlocking methods for my devices. The reason is that at least in USA the law enforcement agencies are allowed to force you to unlock your devices using your biometrics. So I encrypt my devices and their micro SD cards. And I use passwords for my devices.

[@jarodvincent6199]

Kevin Spitzer Restart your phone. If you have Android it requires a pattern/pin. You can't unlock your phone via biometrics the first time you unlock your phone after a restart.

[@Jotakumon]

+Jarod Vincent The problem is that an officer might already have your phone, and cuffed you. The officer is then allowed to unlock your phone through the fingerprint scanner. The best you can do at that point is yell "ok Google, shut down the phone", and hope that it works. At that point, they lost. Just tried it. "Ok Google, power off" (that's the right command). Answer: "Sorry, power controls is not yet supported." Damn. Maybe with Android Oreo, or on the Pixel Phone.

[@iamgeek759]

What are you? Some sort of Chinese Spy trying to steal NASA's Technologies. Why would a law enforcement agency get you in trouble if you are not causing any harm

[@jaguarxta]

Geeky Ashim - Either you are a troll looking to stir up some drama or a blind sheep. It is normal for law enforcement agent/officer to fit whatever evidence (Including data) to fit what they think is the truth. Including stitching in some of what they think happened within the evidence. There you have an innocent person being proven guilty of something they didn't do. Therefore you must keep as much as possible from them in order to give them less to work with in stitching their story of you doing bad things that you didn't do. But you already knew that. You just want to stir up some drama.

[@DMack6464]

Smart.

[@Stoneysilence]

I've heard, no clue if it is true, but if you want protection from Police or the Government biometrics is super weak. They can take your fingerprint or photo so they can use your fingerprint or face to open the phone. While a passcode is considered different and they can try to force you by judge order to give it them but can't compel it out of you as long as you are willing to pay the price of refusing. Anybody know if this is true or not?

[@jiwoo2820]

[@schrodingerscat20]

There is one major difference between biometric security and passcodes and that is access by law enforcement. Except at border entry points (this issue is still under litigation) law enforcement will need a warrant to search your phone. If they can show probable cause and get the warrant they can force you to open the phone with biometrics, be it fingerprint or iris scan. Why? Because those are things that you "are" like giving up a blood sample after a DUI arrest. However, passcodes are something you know. Most courts have held that information you know is protected by the 5th amendment. You cannot be forced to give your passcode, even with a warrant.

[@UnitAlir]

Dudley At airports, the law of any one country does not apply since you are between two countries. They can detain you indefinitely.

[@NevaehBeatez]

I think a geofence password would be a good idea. You decide which areas on the map you want to be able to access your phone. Someone who steals it is highly unlikely to be at your location (work, home, etc.) and so can't unlock it

[@mahmoodjazmawy9463]

Not to mention the biometric is faster

[@dennispremoli7950]

yeah but it has to be looking at your face. also not really. I can unlock my Huawei WHILE im taking it out of my pocket, with my fingerprint. A biometric snacer needs to see your face so you have to take out of you pocket, have line of site (pretty decent one cause the scanners are still quite bad in that sense) and then wait for recognition.

[@mahmoodjazmawy9463]

[@randyparsons3188]

An RFID ring might be the best solution. The ring could have your own password and a number. You can't change the number but can change the password. Phone would be useless unless in range of the ring. Also, the phone would not require unlocking it would just check for the ring occasionally. This could also be used to unlock your door, start your car, etc. Thief could take your ring, but you could use a secure website to change the password on the phone, thus locking it remotely. Or of course, there's the electronic serial number, which can also be disabled from the provider side. One problem with passwords on the phone and fingerprints is that a thief can snatch the phone from your hands while you are using it, and then keep the screen active by using it and thus have full access long enough to get private info. Out of range of the ring, it would lock up automatically.

[@sonoo27]

[@Reginald_Harrison]

Who do you live with that would do that? Or, do you actually think someone is going to break into your home while you’re sleeping, head straight for your phone, grab your hand and scan a couple fingers until it unlocks, all without you waking up? You’re delusional. If someone is bold enough to break into your home, and they really want your phone, they’ll wake you up and force you to give up the password.

[@blankbackgroundimage457]

[@naumsei6221]

Pfft my password is 30 + characters and they're random, how? Simple, paranoia

[@alladin1314]

As far as I know the Operating System on your device is locked using a PIN/Pass-code. This is mandatory before you add any type of bio-metric data. The bio-metric data is just an equivalent for the pass-code required to unlock to OS - and it's only use is for convenience - it is way faster to put your finger on the sensor while taking the phone out of the pocket than input a password. Basically adding a fingerprint or iris data just adds additional attack vectors for potential hackers -so in no case more secure.

[@LeBeautiful]

Swipe to Unlock the best and FASTEST unlock

[@mattig89ch]

I have a dot connection thingy on my phone. The biggest thing to worry about, is police can force you to unlock your phone if you have bio metric security. Just like they can force you to take a photograph or fingerprint you when your arrested. So when you have another form of security, your phone is more secure, because no one can (legally) force you to give access to your device.

I've never used any security method on my phone, I had no password or anything like that. Now I'm using finger print reading just because it's cool. I gave my GF my phone pin anyways. And I don't have any relevant information on my phone that could be worth the time of hacking it. I'm not too paranoid on hackers (and for some reason my Instagram account got hacked twice last month, through my PC's browser, I got only 4 pictures there xD. scanned PC for malware and spyware, changed to 2 step authentication on Insta and was solved) Also I don't really care about companies "spying", they all do, you won't escape them all. Let them offer us what we want, I'm not a big money waster anyways...

[@filipst]

Same here. I started using fingerprint because it's faster than pressing power button and swiping

[@myangelmegu]

lol so me. although I use my pattern instead of disabling security even in case of hacking and entering my phone, there is no information or photos or anything useful for anyone. I only use pattern for protecting my phone against thief's as after 10 or 12 fails it factory resets with FRP lock after next reboot.

[@simplysatisfiedcomplicatio591]

Cala Content some of this makes no sense...

[@LilChuunosuke]

I know so many people who have tons of reasons why they should lock their phone, but don't. Meanwhile I have a cheap iPod touch and a cheap and outdated phone (I'm looking at buying a Moto E4 right now, though) that aren't worth stealing and don't have any information of value on there, but I always have a passcode lock on.

[@bigfroggy22]

wooaah look at mister bricks his phone daily fanccyyy

[@lvhdmya4807]

Absolutely agree!

[@1menatbpe]

fingerprint scanner. is read only... if it can be read can't it be copied. like a read only document. you can only see and copy it but not paste into it. so if a hacker gets into your phone they can copy it and game over. all your data in your phone and in the world about you can be found. forgot if he said the file stored is encrypted or not. that being said. I use fingerprint scanner. and pass code backup. I wish it was pattern backup instead but o well you can't have everything.

[@1menatbpe]

to protect yourself from a hacker/criminals you gotta be able to think like one and then find a way around that thinking/thought in order to protect yourself. I've gotten very good at it but don't know how to do it so I find things that do or that can protect what I don't know how to do.

[@MarzNet256]

I think the best solution to better security would be combined authentication. Use a password combined with fingerprint, face, voice simultaneously. This would make it much harder to gain access. In addition, by using multiple parameters, each parameter could be "looser' to increase speed and reduce computational load.

[@anandsuralkar2947]

My twin brother opened my phone with his face..and he does that many times. I would say that the apple's argument that their face unlock is most secure isnt that secure bcz atleast my twin brother wouldnt open my fp locked phone anyway

To be fair, people are usually aware that they have an identical twin The danger is when there is only one authentication process based on the fact that it is the best process. Like most bank security

but d new Samsung as lock down option in witch biometric doesn't work unless u put xxv password 😛😁

[@triggeredfrog4779]

Here i am with a swipe to unlock home lock screen.

[@laurelkuyon2556]

Nice 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ICPadict36]

same.

[@abraham1O2]

Biometric is usually more secure, but you can still be forced to unlock. Even the TSA can make you unlock your phone. But if you have a randomized alphanumeric password that also includes symbols, along with limiting password attempts, this would make it impossible to bruteforce unless the person doing it could somehow bypass the encryption but a lot of companies at least havent been making or giving backdoors. Also, with modern phones even if you could bruteforce the password you could easily force that process to take months or years with a good password and a good os

At around 6:20, the audio was suddenly isolated on the left. Had to switch earphone sides to hear shit because I have bad hearing on my left. fml

[@lelanddimmer5979]

Avoid getting your phone hacked by not owning a phone. No social media, no paper trail, live in the woods alone and grow a beard.

[@ayush8234]

At this point a padlock is the safest option

[@theclassyfrosty4592]

Ayush they can just smash it with a hammer

[@YTRED-ii5rs]

Ayush a padlock can be hacked with two paper clips and a youtube video. I've done it before when I got locked out of my house.

[@Youknowthebo]

The question I always have is, what happens if you fingerprint data gets stolen? You can obviously change a password if stolen, but your fingerprints not so much.

[@hiitsmemindyourownbusiness2602]

Do not put your life into your phone in other words never allow phone or website to auto save your account info name, email or password. Do not put videos, pictures, credit card information on the phone. I have no contacts saved on my phone the ten people I call I just physically do the number.

[@bjornhalstrom9933]

Hi It's Me Mind Your Own Business If you want to buy from the Play store use Google Play cards. They are anonymous.

[@lisaadler507]

Maybe just don't be a criminal, that works too, lol

[@pwnmeisterage]

Network already logs all incoming and outgoing calls, messages, and DNS traffic. When the phone is used. Where the phone moves around. Which sites you visit, all unencrypted traffic you send or receive online. They also retain recorded voice and text data for a while (for legal reasons). Although other people (friends, family, partner) don't have access to anything you've hidden/deleted, but that's a different sort of trust issue altogether.

[@RyanBlockb5]

Android users remember to encrypt your SD card.

[@sabayonz]

rm /data/system/locksettings.db

[@MarcinKralka]

Not possible without rooting the phone or ADB debbuging right?

[@ViciousPikachu]

What is this?

[@sohrabhamza3805]

Nope. Nowadays, that folder is hardware backed and encrypted. You wouldn't be getting access to it without decryption which results in wiping of all data.

[@RyanBlockb5]

Face Scanner and Iris scanner are different forms of authentication. Can you explain how the Iris scanner can defeated?

[@laurelkuyon2556]

RyanBlockb5 I think it’s a picture? Not sure.

[@OrangeRock]

Definitely FaceID

[@jaimemunoz5920]

I have used a bio-metric system that read your fingerprint and it not only looked at your fingerprint but had a pulse detector and UV and infrared lights. So basically you could not cut off someones finger and use it. Nor could you use a gelatin mold of someones finger. Also no fingerprints were stored in the servers or on the device. When it read your fingerprint it would attach a string of numbers to it. These strings of numbers could not be used to make a fingerprint. When you re-scanned your fingerprint it would match the numbers. So even if you could break into their servers there was no way you could get any fingerprint information. Not saying this device was totally "hack" proof because nothing is. But it is leaps and bounds beyond the bio-metric devices in smartphones.

[@mjc0961]

Eh. I mean if the only way someone is going to get my fingerprint and unlock my phone is if I willingly stick my finger in some goop for a while, I still feel better about that than a pattern or a photograph-sorry, iris- scanner.

[@mackstertube]

Are iris scanners the best then?

[@gavin9765]

But it's also getting much easier to HACK into smartphones... Aha!

[@stephensnell1379]

That's a load of crap

[@TalesOfGod]

For everyone to save you a few minutes, use passwords as your main security. Use biometric security (fingerprints specifically) only if you are prepared to turn it off as police officers, board security officers and courts can force you to open your phone through biometric security but not through a pin, password or pattern.

[@vouxi]

I personally think easy passwords are better because people usually think your password must be hard.

[@lemonadesandwich6507]

Just do something like 1011

[@WMTeWu]

You must be one of those people, that just use "password1", and are all surprised when they get hacked. Using simple password seemed sooo clever..

[@lemonadesandwich6507]

@@WMTeWuBut if you have complicated passwords you may forgot them. Just saying.

[@greypaladin4560]

I read a few years ago about a technology used to scan the veins and structures of your hand rather than fingerprint or other skin surface structures to use as a password. Maybe in the future a version of this could be added to the backs of phones to allow a user to more securely lock their phone, as well as unlock it just by picking it up and holding it in their hand. I'd take that feature over the notch anyday.

[@hilarybuckley6422]

The question is - where can I buy it with lowest price? I was looking for some FB groups and sites (TBH I think this one is the best facebook.com/groups/326747374417279/ ), but I still don't know...

[@German_MDS]

BlackBerry Picture Password method is quite unbeatable. It also gives you only 10 chances, after that: phone is wiped. It works with an image of your choice and on top of that it put a grid full of random numbers, you have to move the number you set to a particular place of the picture. It's not the fastest unlock method, but I think is one of the most secure.

[@AngTheHunter]

Isnt ultrasonic fingerprint sensor more secure than capacitative?

Don't use fingerprint my sister got into my phone while i was sleeping

[@pesta5123]

Well that's because you are one HELL of a heavy sleeper Of someone even touched me when I was sleeping I'd jump up and punch them in the face

[@XTCBiscuit]

hybrid security would be an an extra layer if you could set it to require your fingerprint as well as a pin/password. Or multiple fingerprint input from more than one finger. Those could make life a little more troublesome for the user as well as their nefarious enemies

[@Hannah591]

I am getting a phone with a fingerprint sensor. I have had family members guess my pass code because it is usually a date they know or a number of relevance to me. People have seen me enter the passcode and I have also very easily picked up on someone's pattern by simply observing them only once. Fingerprint sensors completely prevent that from happening, so I do prefer those.

[@TricksterRad]

I love how you missed the fact that Iris Scanning != Face Recognition.

[@zeesgaming4581]

Could you pls tell me which phone I should buy between S8, S8 plus and note 8 ?

[@PandisPandus]

There is a Iris scanner and fingerprint... But you have to have a pass, pin or pattern...

[@fahadus]

If you can, use both. Finger print scanners are fast now. Use them to get a prompt to enter a passcode/pattern, instead of directly unlocking.

[@kstor2poche253]

I personaly use the swipe fingerprint scanner on my note 4 and I'd like to know if it's any better in security than the one shown in the video...

[@deeperbobcat6996]

What if you use all the lock options at the same time

[@wifighostcruiser9665]

Keep a picture of ET in your pocket and use that to unlock your phone with facial recognition. Nobody's going to hack that!
