Google is gearing up to finally fix the biggest Pixel 4 security flaw... soon

But while our in-depth review deemed the feature blazing fast and impressively accurate, the search giant came under fire for a pretty shocking security oversight. As detailed on Google's own support portal, anyone can unlock your fancy high-end handset simply by holding it up to your face when facial recognition is enabled, even if the eyes of the phone's rightful owner are closed.
For what it's worth, the folks over at Android Police seem to have discovered some definitive proof suggesting Google is still working on a fix, which could be enabled in the near future. Apparently, there's already an option visible in the Pixel 4's settings menu for requiring a user's eyes to be open before the phone can be unlocked with this biometric recognition technology.

In case you're wondering, no, Apple's Face ID system does not work with your eyes closed, and the same goes for many other facial authentication solutions from other companies, including those that are inherently less secure than Google's face unlock setup by using rudimentary 2D technology.
