Pros and cons of the Fingerprint, Facial Recognition & App Unlock
Is it worth sacrificing security?
But many of us rely on biometric technologies such as fingerprint and facial recognition or app unlock to keep our devices and its information safe. But should we give up security for convenience? Since you are thinking of trying this, I think it would be helpful to look into the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Biometric technology meets Big Brother or what the future may hold.
More and more of us are using biometric technology — like fingerprint and facial recognition — to unlock our devices and apps. Although these approaches can be very secure, some people are concerned about their privacy, given that biometric data is used in them. But it’s also worth thinking about the future of biometric technology — and its effect on our privacy in the long term.
Which one is more safe for the security of your data?
We sit back and evaluate the options you have for unlocking your devices.The most important aspect to consider when you decide if you should unlock your device is security. Finger print and Face recognition are two types of secure biometric authentication. Yet some specialists argue facial recognition could be less secure than even fingerprint recognition because of the potential for false positives and machine hacking. In the end, the right way to save your data will depend on what you need and what you like.
The pros and cons of using your body to unlock your devices.
Unlocking your devices with the help of biometric technology has numerous pros. First, it’s fast and convenient: You’ve only to place your finger on a sensor or look at your phone to unlock it. Biometric technology is also believed to be very secure because it is unique and difficult to forge. Now there are some cons as well. For instance, if your fingerprint or facial data are stolen, there is no way to change it — unlike a password that you can change easily. And then there are concerns over privacy — how companies are storing and using our biometric data.
The best way to unlock your apps.
It's important to base your decision on your own preference and requirement, once it comes to selecting the best way to unlock your applications. If speed and convenience are your top priorities, then facial recognition is probably right for you. BUT If you care most about security, then you could go with fingerprint recognition. It's really a question of personal preference, and what works best for you.
