=== Phone authentication systems ===
The CCC has repeatedly warned phone users of the weakness of biometric identification in the wake of the 2008 Schäuble fingerprints affair. In their "hacker ethics" the CCC includes "protect people data", but also "Computers can change your life for the better".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ccc.de/de/hackerethik|title=CCC {{!}} Hackerethik|website=www.ccc.de|language=en|access-date=2018-03-13}}</ref> The club regards privacy as an individual right: the CCC does not discourage people from sharing or storing personal information on their phones, but advocates better privacy protection, and the use of specific browsing and sharing techniques by users.

==== Apple TouchID ====
From a photograph of the user's fingerprint on a glass surface, using "easy everyday means",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid|title=CCC {{!}} Chaos Computer Club breaks Apple TouchID|website=www.ccc.de|language=en|access-date=2018-03-12}}</ref> the biometrics hacking team of the CCC was able to unlock an iPhone 5S.

==== Samsung S8 iris recognition ====
The Samsung Galaxy S8's [[iris recognition]] system claims to be "one of the safest ways to keep your phone locked and the contents private" as "patterns in your irises are unique to you and are virtually impossible to replicate", as quoted in official Samsung content.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s8/security/|title=Security – Iris Scanner {{!}} Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+|website=The Official Samsung Galaxy Site|language=en|access-date=2018-03-12}}</ref> However, in some cases, using a high resolution photograph of the phone owner's iris and a lens, the CCC claimed to be able to trick the authentication system.
