Oh... If it so easy, then why fingerprint is still cogent evidence in crime investigation? Someone can steal all of your fingerprints and kill someone, rob the bank or make bomb with it. You do not worry about this?

When you get driver license, you leave all of your fingerprints in big database. Someone who have access can make copy of your fingerprints and use it for criminal action against you...

Time to get tin foil hats for all!

Well if you solely base your investigations on the presence of fingerprints... boy we are lucky you don't work in law enforcement !

Do a bit of research, the Touch ID had already been hacked by the exact technic I mentioned. All done by household material such as glue, a laser printer.

People leave their fingerprints everywhere. It's the equivalent of leaving your password written everywhere. If this is the revolution Apple is starting, and everyone start to use fingerprint ID, the it will be identity thief paradise.

It is supposedly only stored on the phone, like tpm. Why is this any different than Dell or Lenovo or HP having your finger print in their laptops? Or Motorola on the Atrix? If it truly stored in the phone, big deal. They could also have your passwords, personal info, credit info, etc if they wanted lost likely. So could every phone maker.

Guys wake up! Why would someone go through the hassle of decrypting your fingerprint from a secured server or phone when they can just lift one up from a door handle?

the fingerprint reader just got hacked by a German hacker group :

And yes they are legit, as they even work with the government...

It's all over the news here in Germany.

What we have to remember about Touch ID is:
-yes it's convenient
-its less secure than a 4 digits password
-if it only took a few day to fool it, as touch id becomes popular, the technic used to fool it will refine with time making it accessible to everyone
-if you use finger print to secure your stuff instead of a password, remember that it's the equivalent of basically leaving your password everywhere everyday.

[QUOTE=EchuOkan1;9172593]You tell me if it is difficult to get your prints or if it is secure or not:



As someone said before in this post, it may not be a problem at this point, but it may create a new wave of issues.


(I just saw this on Twitter)

Breaking: you can also access someone's phone if you kidnap them and torture them until they give up their password and/or fingerprint.
