    This has been the case for at least 11 years.

      Idk, I think Apple was first to do face unlock. That’s all I got…

        I used to unlock my desktop with my face a long time ago (20 years or so)… No clue when it came to mobile devices, I could totally see Apple bringing that to mobile first.

          Yeah, the tech itself isn’t new. Fingerprint sensors also took a while to come to mobile, and they’ve been around for ages.

          I’m also not interested in face unlock. Passwords work fine, and fingerprints are more than plenty for lazy people.

            I wholeheartedly agree, I thought it was cool until I realized the security concerns. FDE and pass phrases only please. If only someone could convince more companies to allow proper TOTP instead of wanting you to use their proprietary authenticator.
