Face unlock works with photos

[Maserati86]

Anyone else trying out the face unlock? It seems very easy for me to unlock it with a photo of myself.

most people that find your phone will have no idea what you look like, let alone have a photo around to use on your phone.

as far as your girlfriend using a photo to sneak on your phone and check your porn surfing history.. shes probably not smart enough to realize a photo will unlock it.

The kind of person that would steal a phone is not one that has a photo of you.

Don't know if I am liking the facial recognition. Have to use it for awhile and see.
