How would they gain your fingerprint? I didn't think iOS or Android actually passed that on to apps I thought the OS handled biometric authentication and just informed the app that the fingerprint matched?
Looking original in telegram:
Tap for spoiler
"Предложенной депутатами поправкой для иностранных граждан вводится: 📍 обязательная регистрация по месту нахождения; 📍 дактилоскопия; 📍 биометрическое фотографирование; 📍 мониторинг геолокации абонентских устройств." Or "The amendment proposed by the deputies introduces for foreign citizens: 📍 mandatory registration at the place of residence; 📍 fingerprinting; 📍 biometric photography; 📍 monitoring of the geolocation of subscriber devices."it will just be collected throught immigration police not just throught the app.
Yes but the fingerprint wouldn't match would it so they don't actually have to see your fingerprint they just need to get the error back from the phone OS
Nothing stopping an exta fingerprint being registered though...
Changing the database of fingerprints can, if the app is properly configured, erase any "unlock token" stored on the phone.
I just tested this with KeepassDX on android. I deleted and re-added a fingerprint, the database that I had a fingerprint setup had relocked itself requiring the full password to be typed.
Interesting, didn't know that. Do you think that different enough from a timeout / reboot requirement of code? Could the app tell?
zero day exploits?
