 Capacitive sensors measure the electrical conductivity of your finger. These are much more secure than optical sensors since they can't be fooled with an image. They're also tough to fool with prosthetics as different materials will have different electical properties.

 Capacitive sensors won't work if the [tissue is dead](https://www.livescience.com/62393-dead-fingerprint-unlock-phone.html), since dead tissue loses all electical charge. So morbid worries about someone using your dead body to unlock your phone can be assuaged.
 
 Conveniently they also don't require a light source under them to work, although they will struggle in the presence of moisture.
