Companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. and MasterCard Inc. are in the process of switching from passwords to selfies as proof of identity. Facial Recognition technology is becoming more cheaper and companies are finding it easier to have their customers take pictures of themselves rather than type out a password.

However, cybercrime experts are worrying that this "quicker" and "more efficient " process leaves way for security and privacy problems.
