When your password leaks:→ Change your password→ Problem solved

@capitainesam unless your profile photo is fake your face data leaked already. I am not sure I understand the concern about face biometrics in a world where we all expose this readily on social media.

@capitainesam Don't use biometrics to unlock phones. Police and criminals can grab your hand or aim the phone at your face to unlock your phone regardless of your wishes. They have to ask you for password/PIN; they don't have to ask to simply stick your finger on the phone screen or point the phone at your face.

This might help, it's shake and lock feature to be exact:

I'm building @Snugg - social media that will NEVER require:
Facial recognition
Fingerprint scans
Biometric data of any kindWhy? Because we chose a business model that doesn't need surveillance.
@capitainesam looks like you tagged a random person.

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solvedWhen your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases foreverThis is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.
@capitainesam One of the 1.000.000.000 reasons.
Same with ID. It has a biometric photo on it. If scanned accurately, it can, AND WILL, be used to identify you.

@jfml @capitainesam I would hope that your phone takes a "fingerprint" of your fingerprint, i.e. enough to verify but not reconstruct.
@ill_logic @jfml @capitainesam every proper implementation hashes the fingerprint, just like you don't store clear text passwords in the shadow file...
The question is, is this a proper implementation on phones...
