At least someone can’t rip your lips off and use it to unlock your phone.

Another security method that uses a uniquely identifiable trait that is difficult for the individual to alter when inevitably breached. Fingerprints, retinal scans, facial captures, all voluntarily handed over to our benevolent phone manufacturers. No thanks.

  1. Shouldn’t it be something like
    “listening” by watching your lips move?
  2. How about a lick sensor?

I think a lot of these new fangled biometrics are overhyped. Fingerprints are popular because they do not change significantly over time. I strongly suspect many fancier biometrics lack that property.
