Comment on Show HN: Face IO – Facial Authentication for the Web

Comments

Sigh. How many times does it have to be stated: facial recognition is not authoritative! Using facial recognition for authentication is flat out wrong, a face image is too game-able, and to make it strong enough not to be spoof-able the in-system expected users will be rejected when they undergo ordinary human facial variation.

I was principal engineer of a leading enterprise FR system through 3 generations of the product, and I have global patents in the technology. This application of FR is flat out wrong and probably illegally fraudulent, because these people must know this technology cannot do what they claim!
