Google Pixel 4 face unlock has a massive security flaw at launch

But it has now come to our notice that Google’s Face Unlock is probably the most insecure face unlock mechanism of all time. This is because you can unlock your Pixel 4 even if your eyes are closed or you are sleeping. Basically, Google’s Pixel 4 detects the face for unlocking and not anything else. Now, we have seen that even the software-enabled face unlock mechanism also doesn’t let you unlock the phone when the eyes are closed. Because this could mean that anyone can unlock your phone without you being aware.

The more interesting part, however, is that BBC contacted Google regarding this issue and they said this is how their Face Unlock works on final software. Thus, Google says that it is meant to be a feature but it is a huge security flaw. Now, we would rather advise you to not use the Face Unlock if you have a habit of keeping your phone here and there. As someone can literally just point at you and can unlock your device. Google also says that Face Unlock on Pixel 4 is secure to be used for banking but we are not at all convinced. This is a huge security flaw and we hope Google fixes it soon.
