No you misunderstood. That is a reduction in commonality by a literal factor of one million. Any secondary verification point is sufficient to reduce the false positive rate to effectively zero.
Like, running a card sized piece of plastic across a reader?
It’d be nice if they were implementing this to combat credit card fraud or something similar, but that’s not how this is being deployed.
Which means the face recognition was never necessary. It’s a way for companies to build a database that will eventually get exploited. 100% guarantee.
