After running real-world tests of Android's facial recognition on a Pixel 4, Jack Wallen shares his theory of why some people are so concerned about facial recognition.
My TechRepublic article How to enable facial recognition in the BitWarden mobile password manager wound up receiving feedback about Android facial recognition-not BitWarden.
Most of the comments were about how weak Android's facial recognition is, along with a smattering of messages about facial recognition being a bad idea in general.
I'm not talking about the ability of a rogue user being able to abuse your mobile phone via facial recognition; this is about companies and governments being able to use facial recognition in such a way that might invade citizens' privacy.
Facial recognition on Android is an incredibly well executed and secure system-at least according to my real-world testing.
