Facebook to work on his Face ID for access to the Social Network
Mark Zuckerberg’s portal may very soon get account access via facial recognition. A sort of Face ID for the social network that seeks to improve user safety.
Facebook is experimenting with a facial recognition system that can make it even safer to access its platform just as it will happen in the future for the new Apple iPhone X. The confirmation of this news comes directly from the top of the social network that have admitted the development of a system similar to that of the company in Cupertino but also to that seen on the various Samsung Galaxy.
The will of Mark Zuckerberg, would be to use the new system only for access to their account in case it was blocked for some reason, thus combining two-factor authentication to that through SMS.
The will of the top of Facebook is to make it even safer to access users and make it at the same time unapproachable to the bad guys. Here, users in the near future may no longer have to resort to the classic verification SMS, which often creates problems because it does not arrive or is still inconvenient to use, but to this new system of ” face login “.
At the moment, clearly, the new function is still under test, and only a few users have had the opportunity to try it. As always, if the tests of beta testers prove positive and above all convincing in terms of security, the Social Network’s developers may decide to introduce the new feature in the future for everyone.
It is clear, that the system will have to pass many verification steps and cannot be bypassed with a simple user photo, perhaps unaware of access, just as happened in some situations with Samsung smartphones. In this sense, the specifications on the technical functioning of the system are not known, but we know well how Facebook has already worked hard on Artificial Intelligence and could have used this technology to realize facial recognition.
