G+_Derek Duncan Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 read the article. If someone gets your phone, lifts the finger print, uses a dummy finger, then yes, they can get you.... Not as easy as the gotcha headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_AC Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think the point is that Samsung did not fully get the security thing down . accessing your phone with your fingerprint also let's you access like PayPal without further authentication like you would traditionally see by entering your PayPal password when launching the app...

G+_Anthony Kafka Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Remember, you can be forced to unlock a phone with a fingerprint. PIN codes are protected by the fourth and fifth amendments. This scanner thing is a fad IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
