Set up Face Recognition

1. Go to Settings > Biometrics & password > Face Recognition, and enter your lock screen password. If you haven't set the lock screen password, follow the onscreen instructions to do so.

2. Some devices support screen wakeup when you raise the device. If you can find the Raise to wake switch on your device, you can enable it as needed.

   

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

3. Position your face in front of your device, and follow the onscreen instructions to enrol your facial data.

Set an Alternate Look

You can add an alternate look for more accurate and convenient face recognition.

On the Face Recognition screen, touch Set an alternate look, and follow the onscreen instructions to enrol the alternate facial data.

Set Face Unlock

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

• Direct unlock: The screen will unlock once facial recognition is successful.

• Swipe to unlock: Swipe on the screen to unlock the screen after facial recognition is successful.

Certain devices also support the Require eye contact feature, which can be enabled on the Face Recognition screen. Once enabled, you'll need to keep your eyes open while unlocking the device with your face.

 

• If you wish to disable face unlock, touch Unlock device > Off.

• 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 device 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.

Set Accessibility Mode for Face Recognition

Once Accessibility mode for Face Recognition has been enabled, your face will be identified even with your eyes closed if you are in ScreenReader mode.

To enable Accessibility mode, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility features > Accessibility > ScreenReader, and enable ScreenReader.

2. Access the Face Recognition screen and enable Accessibility mode.

If you have not enrolled a face, Accessibility mode will be automatically enabled when you are enrolling the facial data once ScreenReader is turned on.

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 facial data to permanently delete your facial data. You'll have to enrol your face once again if you wish to use the facial recognition feature later on.
