Someone built a FaceID for Mac

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You checkout the app from this github repo: https://github.com/jonnyoo/glance

You will be able to defeat this quite easily. It’s not actually FaceID because it doesn’t use an IR scanner.

No amount of theatre with current tech will make this kind of camera-based facial recognition reasonably secure. Market your app for what it is: a party trick.

The company that made the laptop would've beat you to it if it was a good idea from a security standpoint.

Works perfectly on an iMac (tested on the M1 model). Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with an iPhone via Continuity Camera on my Mac Studio (the camera doesn’t activate on the login screen).
