find someone that uses face recognition, go to their social media, point camera at their picture and your in.
imagine your face as a password.. then imagine a password tattood to your forehead for anyone to take a pic of and you realise how insecure it is

Nah, I do not think that will work, because facial recognition software use a special software to scan the face with millions of dots to create a 3D map of the face. A picture has no debt and if you read more about this, you will see that they actually require you to turn your head, so it will detect if the source is a flat picture or if it is a real person.  Wink

Technology like Bio metric fingerprint scanners can even detect if you are using a finger that was detached, so technology are improving and they will detect if you are trying to fool it.  Grin
