For years, unlocking your devices felt like a tug-of-war between convenience and security. Face recognition stumbled if you wore sunglasses. Fingerprint scanners balked when your hands were sweaty or greasy. Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that. Yet here we are, watching palm recognition quietly outmaneuver every other biometric tech on the block.

    Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that.

    instead of scanning your face (which can be spoofed) or fingerprints (which can be copied), these systems scan the ‘pattern’ of the veins running inside your palm – something that’s unique to you, and absolutely can’t be faked.

    Consider me sceptical.
