Just got this off another forum... Interrsting to say the least

I was doing a few tests on the optical scanner on my Galaxy note 8. I put some black electrical tape over the retina scanner (pitch black) and that consistently bypassed the screen lock and optical security. I tried other materials but the screen lock would come up ??? So what gives ???

You need to check to check your retinas, apparently they're made of black electrical tape in your case ....................

I always wonder why people post stuff like this on social media.

If they don't tell the world then it's not a problem.......

:facepalm:

Unless it is FAKE NEWS of course.....
