Face Scanner Is Amazing

[bassplayrguy]

I'm sure I read somewhere that the face scanner could be fooled in that you could show it a photograph of the registered face and it would unlock...not good news if this is true.

That hoax was debunked. aside from that, I don't know many strangers walking around with pictures of me lol.

I find face scanning faster than iris scanning. Also theres a setting in face scanning to make it harder to use image to fake the scanner.

It's so fast that I thought my screen lock is disabled.

Don't have that option either. What carrier you with?

I don't know why people don't credit this enough. The face Scanner is amazing. It unlocks my phone as long as there is some light in the room 99% of the time.

You're lucky. Mine works about 50% of the time as long as I'm standing in one spot in my house and nowhere else. Right in that spot it works ok. It opens the phone unexpectedly no matter what the angle is between the phone and my face. And again it happens about 50% of the time I'm standing in that spot in my house and pick up the phone.

The only thing that consistently works is the fingerprint scanner. Face scanner works when I get lucky. I don't expect it so it kind of surprises me when it happens. The iris scanner has never worked for me and is just another "feature" of the phone that I can and (and apparently will) never use.
