Face Unlock

Enrol Your Facial Information and Enable Face Unlock
Face unlock can only be used when the owner account is logged in. It is not supported by user
l
and guest accounts, or by PrivateSpace.
Face unlock is not available if the lock screen password has not been entered for at least three
l
consecutive days, or if your device has been remotely locked or restarted.
When using Face unlock, keep your eyes open, and look straight at your device from a distance
l
of 20–50 cm (about 8–20 inches). Your device may be unable to scan your face accurately if
you are in an extremely dark environment or under direct lighting.
Currently, only one face can be enroled. You can delete the current facial data and re-enrol
l
your face.

data.
