Phones could allow much higher security if they supported 2 factor authentication. This could be face/fingerprint along with a typed or swiped password. This seems like a simple solution that leverages software that is already implemented. Just make it an added option in addition to the existing one
ETA: Sorry for the duplicate posts, I was getting error messages. Pls use this one.
I am surprised there is confusion about what 2fa is. Here is a simple definition: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/security-101/what-is-two-factor-authentication-2fa
Phones do. MFA via biometric is a thing and has been for quite some time.
Even apple face Id is a method of mfa
?
I must be missing something. Facial recognition is 1 method. What is the second?
For convenience phones don’t always ask for the pin code. That is the other method.
I think the confusion here is that I mean to use 2FA to access my phone, not websites or other hardware.
