A comment on Fingerprints can be hacked. Parent comment
1) did not write what are needed parameters of the photo or quality of left fingerprint
2) it does not look like they used photo from an angle of the screen as in article but some other closeup
3) somehow unlock stuff with thumb where most people use index finger
4) then they use index finger to operate "thumb" print
5) who touches screen like that with thumb, who touches back of the phone like that
In the end with PIN I can look over someones shoulder and not even have to make a video.
I agree with the premise of what they say that people might think fingerprint is "super secure" while it is not...
But it is secure enough for most of the people and more secure that typing in PIN or short password or for people using 0000 or 1234 as PIN.
