Re: Face ID is not my kind of security actually

As far as I can tell from the demo you are required to actually look at it. In other words, if someone tries to lift your phone, you have just shown them that you have it :). Worse, you may have just managed an unlock, but you cannot change the locking facilities without that face again, or the PIN.

In other words, you either get yourself a Mission Impossible mask made of the owner or it remains a problem.
