iPhone X Face ID: Is It Truly Safer? Experts Weigh In

The arrival of the iPhone X also brings a new form of authentication that Apple is hyping as its most secure yet. Those who make the leap to the iPhone X will be able to unlock their device using the facial recognition feature Face ID. Apple has positioned the new biometric check as a vast improvement over previous forms of authentication. On its website the company claims "Your face is your secure password," and during the September event unveiling the iPhone X, Apple said Face ID was a huge step up from the company's prior biometric feature, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. If Face ID is everything Apple says it is, should users ditch passwords and passcodes in favor of just their face?
