Your Face is Easy to Fake

How do you like that? You can use a printed picture of a face (not even a very good one) to beat facial recognition software installed on poplar laptops.

For security reasons, the actual key points and the particular enhancement were not announced to the public. However, my take is that the use of these photos is probably possible because the authentication software looks at the face as a 2D object, instead of a 3D one. This makes each face much less unique than it actually is.
