New Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Feature: Secure Face Unlock

There was a whole lot of new features that kinda flew under the radar in the newest version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean -- one of them is the all new Secure Face Unlock feature. Previously, in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, it was easy to “trick“ the Face Unlock feature by showing a photograph of someone’s face, and gaining access to their device. Now things are a bit more secure, with the new option to require the user to blink before unlocking. While, techinically, you could still use a video of someone’s face, recording a directly 2 inches in front of them, in all seriousness, that’s a lot less unlikely.
