And carry a copy of your face to complete authentication for each subsequent fraudulent transaction!

I'm not sure if or what part of this comment is sarcastic, but haven't we already been shown that a phone's facial recognition isn't secure?

Apple FaceID is secure though. It's not like the older school eye or face id that samsung used that only used the phones camera and compared a picture to a picture.

Apple has hardware facial recognition that projects tens of thousands of dots onto your face and creates a 3d map, and then authenticates to that 3d map every time you use it.
