Face Recognition

Face Recognition allows you to unlock your tablet or access locked apps with your facial data.

Set up Face Recognition

  1. Go to Settings > Biometrics & password > Face Recognition and enter your lock screen password.

    If you have not set a lock screen password, set a 6-digit PIN or touch Change unlock method to set up another type of password.

  2. Touch Add facial profile.

  3. Select Enable raise to wake.

    The settings items vary by device. If your tablet does not provide a specific item, it indicates that the corresponding feature is not supported.

  4. Touch Get started and follow the onscreen instructions to enroll your facial data.

Add More Facial Profiles

You can add a maximum of five facial profiles on your tablet so that it's easy to share with loved ones.

On the Face Recognition screen, touch Add facial profile, and follow the onscreen instructions to add facial data.

Set Face Unlock

On the Face Recognition screen, touch Unlock device and select an unlock method.

Some tablets support Require eye contact. When this is enabled, you will need to keep your eyes open while unlocking the device with your face. If you can't find this switch on your device, it means that this feature is not supported.

If you have enabled PrivateSpace, you'll only be able to use Face unlock in MainSpace. If you have added multiple users, you'll only be able to use Face unlock with the Owner account.

Access App Lock with Face Recognition

On the Face Recognition screen, enable Access App Lock, and follow the onscreen instructions to add your facial data to App Lock.

You can then touch a locked app on your home screen and use face recognition to access the app.

Link Your Face with Password Vault

Access the Face Recognition screen and enable Autofill usernames and passwords.

When logging in to an app, you can use Face Recognition to automatically fill in the account name and password saved in Password Vault.

Bolster Your Device Security, with Face Recognition

Enable Require trusted device when using Face unlock to ensure that your tablet will only unlock when it detects your face and is connected to a trusted device.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the Face Recognition settings screen, touch Require trusted device, turn on the Require trusted device switch, and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the settings.

A trusted device can be any Bluetooth device that can be used for unlocking purposes, such as earphones, a watch, or a band.

Disable or Delete Facial Data

Go to the Face Recognition screen to:
  • Prevent certain features from accessing your facial data: Disable Unlock device, Access App Lock, or other features, to prevent them from using your facial data. Doing so won't delete your facial data.

  • Delete facial data: Touch Delete to delete your facial data. You'll have to enroll your face once again if you want to use the facial recognition feature later on.
