How exactly would a phone camera get a clear image of your retina? I very much doubt anything like this is possible but maybe I'm missing something
I mean how would this work though, even assuming that technology hurdle is cleared (definitely doubting it, a slightly dark room can totally hose a cell phone photo)?
The Twitter app has to request camera use and then ask the user to do that. What possible benefit would there be for the user?
Yeah, maybe. Doesn't sound attractive to me though, there are already several ways to authenticate which work fine.
