It has been one of Apple's technological milestones, the Face ID, the security technology more secure than Touch ID which was launched back in 2017 with the TrueDepth camera of the iPhone X. A contribution of biometric security that Apple has wanted to emphasize on more than one occasion although from time to time there has been some other analysis that has shown that it is not perfect and franchiseable ...
Yes, It is possible to bypass the Face ID lock, but it is not easy to do so since it is necessary to carry out many steps to do it, and not only that, to do them in very very specific circumstances. It is what we bring you today, a new discovered way to be able to cheat the Face ID and enter the protected device by this Apple security method. After the jump we give you all the details about how to bypass the Face ID lock ...
And I already tell you that it is not easy at all ... The news has been published by the guys from ThreatPost, and they talk about a new method to bypass Face ID using goggles and duct tape. The method curiously uses Face ID "liveness" detection, a biometric detection that ensures that the TrueDepth camera is focusing on a real person and not on a mask, and it does so by detecting ambient noise, defocusing elements, and distortions in the environment.
After our research, we found weaknesses in Face ID, which allows users to unlock while wearing glasses. If you wear glasses, it will not extract 3D information from the eye area when Face ID recognizes the glasses.
As you have been able to read, the guys from Tencent used glasses named "X-glasses", in these they put white duct tape and on top of this black duct tape. After they put these glasses on a sleeping person and they managed to trick the Face ID to unlock the iPhone and even to make purchases. Obviously all this without "waking up" the person you want to do all this... A method yes, I have not tried it ..., but the truth is that it is not easy to use and with each iOS update we will see how from Cupertino they improve Face ID security.
