What Subhasish says. I don't have remote
expectations of this getting
cleared by Legal or by the community and oppose the proposals very strongly
....
Also, the algorithm used in OpenCV is quite backdated, and is quite
susceptible to false positives.

Santosh - how valuable it might be, I am unable
to understand how this is
relevant to Wikimedia projects. Maybe you could elaborate on anything that
is not obvious. Also, face recognition leads to the questions related to
questions on privacy, personal data collection, and even surveillance. For
instance, there is a huge debate going on about the potential issues
related to the face recognition based security gates that have recently
been installed in several Indian airports. Face recognition for logging
into Wikimedia projects might just open a pandora's box as the anonymity of
contributors is core to Wikimedia projects. I am not sure if there is any
discussion that exists anywhere about even adding a test project but I'd
highly discourage biometric-based authentication. I think this community
and probably the foundation does not have the legal, technical and other
infrastructure that is required to manage a few hundred thousand personal
data including biometric data as the latter is extremely vulnerable. Any
data breach could cost lives. Many of our community members work in regions
with geopolitical conflicts and biometric data tied to one's Wikimedia
contribution could potentially lead to danger to their lives. Similarly,
there is not enough education about individual privacy and biometric data
collection which is why many online users, out of ignorance, end up sharing
their private details online. The more the personal data collection options
on a platform, the more the risk of that data being leaked and misutilised.
No offense to the hard work, but {{STRONGLY DISAGREE}} for any such
projects even on an experimental basis.

Hello Wikimedian,
3D face recognition has become a trending research direction in both
industry and academia. Using your face to authorize to unlock your phone is
popular, but on the web it has not been seen a lot, maybe because it’s not
trivial to implement. Is it possible to implement face verification using
just HTML5, Javascript and some Go? Yes! I did it in an hour using
Javascript, Nodejs, and OpenCV for wikipedia login.
I Implemented face recognition and web login for wikipedia. Please check
following video and screenshots. Very soon I will share code on Github.
