Face recognition
You can enable Face recognition to unlock your screen. To use your face to unlock
your device, you must set a pattern, PIN, or password.
•
Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN, or Password. Your device could
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.
1.
From Settings, tap
Biometrics and security > Face recognition.
2. Follow the prompts to register your face.
