    NGL, GIMP may be something people should learn to use. If we’re talking sketchy as hell third party outifts that are inevitably going to sell your personal info, why give them anything real?

      Do you mean like altering your biometric signature with imagine manipulation software? Don’t a lot of these verification services require a live camera?

        Seen someone tricked it with a face drawn onto a thumb. It assumed they were under the age of 15.

        Dunno about that. Nothing is stopping one from boning up on some transformational makeup.

        You of course don’t have to go the celebrity look-alike route, but looking like somebody else that’s not you, could work. The way the biometric mapping works is by measuring the features and highlights and shadows on a face to measure it.

        Change the shadows and highlights and the width of the mouth and it can be stymied.
