That's photo recognition.
Oh! & by the way, many people use facial recognition to log into their mobile phones.
Once in there, what then?
Normally, you sit in front of your screen camera, click, and you are logged in.
Bottom line is that, if you can log in by just using a photograph then, then you are in your Facebook account with access to your friends list, your account details, etc.
Facebook won't be the only one.
If you don't believe it, fine with me!
Did I really need to repeat myself?

My feelings are that I may express whatever opinion I like, within the rules of course, and that what I look like does not make that opinion any more or less valid.
You do not need to know what I look like in order to understand that opinion

This is what you said:-
"Tedc. It's only a photo of their face they are showing, not their account numbers, where they live and their complete life history.
If someone can copy their picture, then why couldn't the same person take a photo of you in the street and do the same? As far as I can see, I don't see too many people wearing a bag over their head walking around! "
I suggest that a live facebook account can be used to log into other accounts, like paypal, etc.
They would also be party to any personal info stored in the accounts.
Stiil, believe as you wish.

Facebook as a log in.
Don't bother commenting.

If you were able to get a copy of a forum user's face photo, would you be able to hold it up, in front of your camera and use it to log on?
If you could, wouldn't you be able to get the friend list, names & addresses, and enough personal details to build a fake profile.
If so, Bingo - you're away!
This is an article I just read:-
"The Problem With Facial Recognition
You might be reading all of this and think that facial recognition is pretty cool. Well, it is, but it can also be quite dangerous or at a minimum, a privacy risk.
The big issue, of course, is privacy concerns. When you start using facial recognition software, such as on Facebook, you are giving the company data on yourself that you might not realize. It might not seem like a big deal, but when you think about all of the things that a company might be able to do with that data, it gets a bit more frightening. Experts actually say that you should be protecting your image just as much as your date of birth, Social Security number, etc. In the wrong hands, it could be disastrous."
My thought is that. if it can be scammed it will be scammed.
Sad, but I'll keep my photos private.

The ones at risk would be those close to fitting the requirements which the Forum will require.
Haven't tried it on Facebook but I'm thinking they'd want you to be sitting a couple of feet away from your camera doing a full face shot.
That would, likely, be what the scammer would need to inject a print of.
Having said that., forums like that may well go for a double log in, i.e sending a code to your email address to confirm that it is you.
