Face recognition

You can set the device to unlock the screen by recognising 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.

Registering your face

For better face registration, register your face indoors and out of direct sunlight.
