Comment on The FBI Forced a Suspect to Unlock Amazon’s Encrypted App Wickr with Their Face

Comments

Is this a stealth add for Amazon that not even they, when handed a warrant, can decrypt your Wickr data without Big Brother forcing a biometric unlock on you (or cutting you a plea deal to unlock the app so you can rat out the rest of your militia/gang/activists)?

It's a reminder to not use face verification and that proper password locking should occur after a period of time.

Wasn't this the entire point of wickr in the first place?
