Several videos on the Internet are currently causing unrest among iPhone users: Siri is supposed to help us trick the security code.
But let's watch the video first:

We also have to admit that this video looks pretty real - but not all that glitters is gold. Don't forget in this situation: While Siri is being accessed, the iPhone is unlocked in the background using the finger scan.
For anyone who wants to know more: What is the guy doing in the video?
First he presses the home button to call up Siri and then asks her for the time, then he presses the “+” symbol to insert another time. Now he has the opportunity to enter any city in the search field.
But instead he types in a series of numbers, saves it in the background with “Copy” and then clicks Share/Release.
iPhone suggests several options for him to forward the text/number series. The “video maker” chooses the option as a text message and now has to select a recipient.
Now he presses the home button again and tadaaa: it looks as if he had unlocked the iPhone before our eyes.
Conclusion
This video is fake, at least the claim that you can use Siri to unlock any iPhone.
Try it yourself and use a finger that is not registered in Touch ID.
Those who used their thumb and/or index finger when registering could try using their middle finger. You'll see, you won't get very far.
