Hi, While I don't wish to minimize anyone's concerns, Face ID even without the eye contact feature is still very secure. You basically need to be a twin to be able to fool the system from most things I've heard or read. When the finger-print sensor was first introduced on the iPhone, there was quite a bit of noise made about possible security flaws, and now we're touting it as more secure than Face ID. I'm just not confident in many of these opinions out there. Joe Public just doesn't have the in-depth data required to do a proper assessment of its true security risks.

The security issue is specifically if you disable that part of face id that requires you to actually look at the phone. I think I read that this will be off by default if the system detects VO is in use. And this means there is less security to the face id feature than is the case if this setting is left enabled.
