Sure, that would work, coz he'd never remember how many * he put in, in the first place! It would successfully keep him out of his stuff, while letting in ALL of the hackers.
They are using The tech to train AI recognition systems. Facial/voice recognition all require large/massive amounts of data to learn. We are paying for and building our own gilded cage (24/7 surveillance system). Technology is a double edged sword. Convenience is a short step away from servitude. "If they can, they will."
Use a password vault with military grade encryption. Only one password to remember to open the vault. I've been using one for years. All my online accounts are opened and logged into easily. My passwords are 30-50 characters long with all manner of characters...
Just write the password on a sticky note. Really, who is breaking into homes to steal email passwords.
I didn’t think push button start and touch unlock was a big deal until we bought the wife a new car.Personally I hate this idea. While I don't care for the huge boat anchorFOB with the keyless entry, I'd rather it to this. My phones facial recognition doesn't work all that great and I have to use the passcode quite often to gain access. There's so many things in the real world that could happen and make this fail.
I know they say it can be updated but I see this as another solution looking for a problem. Then add the cost for this added technology which I'm sure won't be cheap to the already overpriced vehicles. Why not make them all keyless and design a smaller FOB? Unless there's an override (use of phone, or key) I don't like this at all.
What say you?

No reference to the BeeGees? I'm out.
Reminds me when I ran over my cellphone. Immediately went out and bought a new one. When I tried to log into my Samsung account to restore all my contacts, it said "Enter the code we sent to your old phone". Yeah, Karen, my old phone is flat as a credit card!
“paying for and building”
"I don't mind the idea of advancing tech & progress, but I wish they'd actually get the damn thing to work reliably before mass marketing it; it seems like the "beta test" is now the initial launch."
I don't use the facial recognition thing for the phone lock. I use fingerprints. My old phone had a dedicated fingerprint reader on the back and it worked well. new phone reads your fingerprint on a certain spot on the screen and it's irritating AF. doesn't read correctly if I wash my hands or they are otherwise wet (sweaty). doesn't read correctly if my fingers are really cold. lots of frustrating times it won't work and my phone reverts to the old pattern swipe.
yeah, I've been using a password vault for a number of years now and it works a treat. I use Keeper, which is a paid service, but it is also a multiple platform system so it works on my phone and on my computers. has saved my bacon from the old compromised merchant hacks since I started using it. well, that and the fact that I don't save credit card info on merchant websites, either.
yeah, the dedicated fingerprint readers seem to work pretty well. still, thinking about it, I don't think I'd even want that kind of tech in my vehicle. there have been some very legit cases where I've needed to let someone else drive my vehicle and I would have been unable to unlock it and set up an alternate user. I was once in a coma for 18 days, and friends and family visiting to help my wife out needed to drive my car occasionally. I wasn't exactly in a position to change settings to let other people drive my car.
