The device's flaw was discovered by a user of the image-sharing website 3D , who photographed their own fingerprint from the side of a glass. This picture was then fed into inexpensive 3DS printing equipment, and then reproduced on a piece of resin within less than 3 minutes . The fake print reportedly opens the phone as reliably as the real thing, despite Samsung 's ultrasonic ID software using machine learning to detect artificial prints. Many smartphone features, like banking apps, are secured by the technology.
