From what I understand it's not that, it's fingerprint recorded as authorized while the flawed protection is on, that won't work.
If you record a new fingerprint without any protection, or one that doesn't confuse the sensor, you can't then put the flawed protection on top and have it bypass security.
I thought that, but if you look at the video linked, you can clearly see they register their fingerprint pre-screen protector. And then by putting the screen protector on, they can now unlock it with any finger.
Jezz. _that_ is bad. How is that even possible? I mean it makes sense if you trained it with your finger with the faulty protector, but adding a faulty protector makes it work?
Surely the sensor must be able to tell the difference (even if it's currently doing it incorrectly)
Yep I saw the video after my post above also, and it didn't make any sense to me either.
Couldn't tell whether the N10 was completely naked during scan due to the quality of the video.
Would like to see verification, and to learn if the S105G sensor would be affected as well. It operates a bit better than the S10+, so it may not be identical - although that might be position only.
But, they have to adjust the screen protector's position before the wrong finger registers. That video makes it look like the protector was contaminated with a fingerprint before the recording began.
