Biometric security

Use biometrics to securely unlock your device and log in to accounts.

Face recognition

be unlocked by someone or something that looks like your image.
Some conditions may affect face recognition, including wearing glasses, hats,
•
beards, or heavy make-up.
When registering your face, ensure that you are in a well-lit area and the camera

lens is clean.
