May I use my finger prints for locking my 14 Max iPhone? This is my new & first iPhone 😳

Hello!

May I use my finger prints for locking my 14 Max iPhone?

I don’t think I should use my face and or irises to lock it, because they were used on my cloned & hacked Samsung S8 phone using (SVC AGENT Trojan) and by “Link to Windows” in to the hacker’s PC & Samsung devices 🤢

iPhone 14 Pro Max

That iPhone offers Face ID and no Touch ID.


The biometrics are stored in the secure enclave, and Apple does not provide a means to export the saved data.


If the security of the secure enclave is breached, the biometrics are the least of the issues.
