Fingerprint security real-world hacks?
My new Pixel 2 XL is the first phone I've set up to unlock with a fingerprint reader — though I'm also using it on my latest laptop. The phone is scarily easy to unlock, meaning either its fingerprint reader is really accurate or it's not very discriminating.
I've read the articles describing a high false positive rate and the possibility that a "master key" glove could unlock many phones before hitting their attempts limit. I can't find any evidence such a device exists and poses a real threat.
Does anyone know whether there is really a significant current risk in using the fingerprint reader on a phone?
