The article doesn’t go into any length to explain the technology. But assuringly its just an encrypted passcode created with an algorithm using measured face data.
Crafting a secure reliable personal id based on pure visual appearance has been tricky and when this came out i disliked it but it was clearly a feat.
What is the story here?
Google trusting this technology?
Them adding age verification to it?
I am just confused what makes this enough of something to write/post it.
Very different, I would say. The security implication of authorising you on a new device is much more severe than logging you into a device you are already authorised against.
Conceptionally yes. You can refuse to unlock your phone with your face. You cannot refuse to allow Google to access your account (and thus your phone, too) with a picture of your face -no matter how bad the tech is- if Google implements this.
Is that really that different?
