You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR Code(二维码) with your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away.

Since then, using ones fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become a commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smart phones, while Apples new iphone X can even scan a users face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we imagine. Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much, said John Michener, a biometrics expert.When introducing the new iPhones face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice-president, said. The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhones X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million. But its already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they arent even twins.We may expect too much from biometrics, Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. No security systems are perfect.Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead persons smart phone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter. Its good to see bi
