Will unlock the phone with... sweat
The story of whether fingerprint security, iris security or facial security is safer has been hotly debated in recent days. Especially after BKAV found a way to bypass Apple's Face ID, and affirmed that facial security is not safe.

But in the meantime, scientists have begun to find a new, absolutely safe security method. That is security by sweat, an invention that is considered the key to future security technology.
This new study, conducted by scientists from the University of Albany, has demonstrated that by examining a person's sweat, it is possible to create a unique amino acid profile that can accurately prove their identity.
Just like a fingerprint, this amino acid profile is unique to each individual, so we can use sweat as an incredibly secure key to access secure devices.
“We are developing a new security technology that could completely change the way electronic devices are authenticated,” said assistant professor Jan Halamek. “Using sweat as an identifier is not easy to imitate or attack. It is almost a foolproof security measure.”

The profile of the components in our sweat is analyzed to become a password. |
While other security methods have problems. For example, password security can be stolen or forgotten by hackers, fingerprint security can be faked, and facial security can be inaccurate in many cases (like when you wear a mask). Sweat security does not have any of these problems.
