However, it’s not necessarily the most secure security option, especially when based on basic color camera technology that’s rather easy to fool. Cost-effective but basic camera-based recognition can be duped with photos and other mock-ups, so it’s not something you want to trust when trying to secure super sensitive data. It’s one of the reasons why we still recommend that the security-conscious use their phone’s fingerprint scanner rather than the face unlock feature. Similarly, the image-based technology found in most smartphones does
