Face recognition

You can set the device to unlock the screen by recognizing your face.
• Your device could be unlocked by someone or something that looks like your
image.
• Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN, or Password.
• Consider the following when using face recognition:
– Consider the conditions when registering, such as wearing glasses, hats,
masks, beards, or heavy makeup.
– Ensure that you are in a well-lit area and that the camera lens is clean when
registering.
– Ensure your image is not blurry for better match results.
• If you use your face as a screen lock method, your face cannot be used to unlock
the screen when turning on the device. To use the device, you must unlock the
screen using a pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the face. Be
careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.
