TOTV Login Facial Recognition?
 

Friend told me the TOTV moderator assigned her login via facial recognition? When did TOTV start that?

I have a bridge for sale if you're interested.

That is funny!!

I think your friend is pulling your leg.

I am not sure I will continue using TOTV if they remove access to the old version? I am definitely out if I need to use facial recognition to login.

Person is new to TOTV and had trouble logging in. Stated when TOTV support contacted her she was required to do facial recognition to log in. I am awaiting response from TOTV to let them know about this. Never heard of it myself in all these years. I think the person somehow got on another site.

Facial recognition is used on many iPhones to sign into an app without having to use a password. That's how I access my bank accounts and many other apps. Maybe that's what the OP was talking about.

Device dependent
 

I suspect your friend is using a device that uses facial recognition for logging into the device (certain recent Apple phones, for example). My iPhone allows me to logon to it using my fingerprint. When I allow my iphone to store my password for a particular site, like the villages.net, my phone prompts me to authenticate by fingerprint to access the site, rather than entering the password. It is similar to when PC users allow their internet browser, like Google, to store their password so they do not need to enter it every time they use the site.

So, it isn’t TOTV that is doing facial recognition, it is the device the person is using to look at TOTV. Nothing to worry about🙂

Ridiculous. I wouldnt give it a second thought. TOTV isnt a site of the future.

Some mornings I hardly recognize my own face, I so seldom look in a mirror. I don’t know how Talk of the Villages is going to recognize it. We haven’t even met.

This is probably the best explanation. I am certainly not aware of any such technology being implemented. I did flag this for the tech support person to see.

Should be a non-issue.

Yikes, even though facial recognition is not a necessity from this website, I fear I will always be behind the 8 ball with technology. I am still using an IPhone 6, so definitely no facial recognition on that!

My hairdresser says, the 12th of never. :)

Could be possible. I use facial recognition with my gate pass.
