Everykey – The Master Key to Your Phone, Laptop, Website Accounts, and More

Windows Hello uses an IR emitter and camera to get a 3D map to verify in addition to the ordinary webcam, and I've confirmed that mine doesn't fall prey to the most obvious of exploits.

Of course, it makes the assumption that "<user>'s face in front of the computer means <user> wants to log in", which may not always be the case.

That being said, I'm eagerly looking forward to reading about its pitfalls once people crack it.

I wonder if your face would look different enough in the 3D map while under duress to stop it from authenticating. Or what about if you're unconscious? It sounds like it would be real easy to break this security with a $5 wrench.

That's the case for a lot of security, though?
