Would be nice if we didn't already have touch id and face id.
Morale of the story: Don't use face/fingerprint unlock. Sooner or later you/they will need to use the password anyway.
Why would I want face id when I can just touch a key?
I'm really surprised he doesn't just use FaceID in this case.
Use FaceID or TouchID, that’s kind of their purpose!
Suggestion : let the user select a confidence level at which FaceID unlocks the phone. This would allow the user to decrease false positives at the cost of false negatives. Not very Apple to expose settings, but in this case it seems like a no Brainerd, much like choosing between 4 or 6 digit pins.
Don't use fingerprint or face unlock. Passcode/pattern only.
This is with FaceID turned off!
Feels a bit of a Rube-Goldberg workaround when TouchID exists. Love my TouchID to the point I'm dreading when Apple makes no more TouchID phones
More than with Touch ID/Face ID that are used in a shit ton of places?
