A sensor manufacturer from China has demonstrated just how easy it is to fool a smartphone fingerprint sensor.
President of mobile security firm Vkansee, Jason Chaikin, created a mold of his fingerprint.
He then took the modeling clay Play-Doh, pressed it on to the mold and created a replica.
Chaikin touched the Play-Doh on an iPhones fingerprint scanner and the unit easily gave Chaikin access.
Apple did not respond with an official comment but pointed to the security section of its website.
The probability of this happening is 1 in 50,000 for one enrolled finger, the website read.
Chaikin has no hate for Apple rather he likes Apple.
Currently manufacturers have to cut a hole in the equipment to put in the sensor.
