We like to think that our personal passwords will keep us safe. Studies have shown that fingerprints are one such thing that can only be cracked 50,000 times on someone else’s finger. And that’s why Apple’s Touch ID has become so popular. Apple recently expanded their fingerprint security to a patent to store their users’ data on iCloud. Will.

A common question arises, why would people save their fingerprints online.

First, the Touch ID information is encrypted – so that the operating system or any other software cannot access it, that is, they do not have access to it.

Second, this information will only be available on iOS devices, not any type of server. So that incidents like stealing photos of celebrities from last year may not happen.

But according to the recent patent, keeping fingerprint data in iCloud will be convenient for those users who have more than one iOS device or share the device. Such as members of the same family, who do not want to bother with repeated fingerprint registration on the device. This new feature allows users to easily validate their Apple ID. In this case, there is no need to re-record fingerprints on the second device, as iCloud already has fingerprints stored on another device. All you have to do is scan your finger while unlocking the device. Multiple levels of verification will save you from crackers.

The patent also includes near-field communication and Bluetooth to synchronize fingerprints with nearby devices. Users can also validate product purchases from devices that have access to iCloud.

People are now accustomed to storing their financial data in Apple’s large ecosystem. That is why the company may think that there is no reason to worry about keeping their biometric data now.

But the bottom line is that the reality of this new security story is not as simple as it sounds. No technology is above error. Apple’s Touch ID is not 100% trustworthy to humans. Let’s see how much success this innovation can bring.
