nairalandbuzz: Cerebral remarks for this piece sir. But I am still convince open source has it advantage when it require upgrading and improving its features, close source on the other hand has hers with security . Your Intel is first hand but I will need you to explain why apple product are much secure than android .thanks. |

FrancisCAF: No. Sorry won't be your name. There is always a backup password you will use if, for any reason, your device didn't identify your fingerprint. |

Electronzeez:you are right, my son always outsmart me each time I change my Lock pattern until when I finally discovered that he traces my oily drawings left on my smart phone screen, I out smarted him now since I started using pin instead. Pin lock is actually better than pattern lock. 2 Likes |

timbros:The pin has about 10000 options from 0-9,the pattern has about 100 but there are only ten fingers/options(and the options are further reduced if you have been monitored by a determined wife,husband,girl friend,boyfriend or kid).Just a deep sleep and your finger can be placed on the scanner.Now what if you are knocked cold by an assailant?He now has enough time to test all your fingers. |

benebaby77: Most finger print scanner phone has a PIN lock as a second option . for example if you place a wrong finger on my phone three times it automatically tell you to input a PIN lock. Long time bro. |

Electronzeez:Pin is not a form of password. Pin is pin, password is password. Pin uses only numbers while with password, you can have an alphanumeric combination or only alphabets as you wish. For me I prefer pin. Patterns are just so annoying to draw atimes. But I'll easily choose a one time fingerprint scanner over all of them . 1 Share

Electronzeez: First, in the digital world, nothing is secured. US President uses Blackberry... and according to http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/12/04/president-obama-reveals-he-is-not-allowed-to-use-apples-iphone-due-to-security-risks "President Barack Obama on Wednesday said the Secret Service does not allow him to use Apple's iPhone for security reasons" even though we all know BB is not it.... Even Angela Merkel of Great Germany uses BlackBerry... and BB is ditching their model for Android... We claim iOS here cos we are not the primary users, in US, they are complaining about its durability stability and for security, iOS can get hacked over Wifi in minutes. iOS just released a new update in last recent months and guess what? "New iPhone is hacked: Anonymous researchers win $1 million challenge to crack the security of Apple's latest iOS" Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3301691/New-iPhone-hacked-Unknown-researcher-awarded-1m-jail-breaking-latest-iOS.html#ixzz3ux0yZKSa That was done by a mere researcher let alone an hacker... |

babafirst: Your phone is S6 or S6 Edge right? Now apart from locking your phone, can you also select some apps and lock them with that same finger print? |
