【Hot Airlines Porn Movie】
Face unlocking is Hot Airlines Porn Movienice, convenient and nearly ubiquitous these days, but is it safe?
According to a study conducted by the Dutch Consumers Association (via The Register), on (too) many phones it can easily be defeated with a printed photo of the owner.
SEE ALSO: The era of the 'hole punch' smartphone has begunThe study tested 110 smartphones and was able to unlock 42 of them (though some of them were mere variants of the same models, i.e. Samsung Galaxy A8 with 32GB and 64GB of RAM) with a high-resolution photo of the owner. An additional 6 models (again, some are variants) also failed the test, but they did offer a stricter security setting for face recognition.
The list of devices that failed is quite an ugly one and includes numerous popular models such as Asus Zenfone 5, HTC U11+, Huawei P20 Pro, Motorola One, Nokia 7.1, Samsung Galaxy A8, Sony Xperia XZ3 and Xiaomi Mi A2. The full list of the phones that failed the test is below.

LG's G7, V35 and V40 flagships, as well as Honor 7A, passed only with increased security settings.
Interestingly, when we tested a similar technique on the OnePlus 6 in May 2018, we were able to fool it, though it required a very specific scenario (the phone would only be fooled by a face printout if it were unlocked by the actual owner moments before). This indicates that, by using some slightly more advanced technique, the results might've been even worse.
The results are worrying. Researchers note that some of these phones will warn you that face recognition isn't the safest option for keeping the data on your smartphone private. But users should be aware that, in some cases, all it takes to unlock a phone is a printed photo of the owner.
