Your face is unique to you, making it one of the best security features.
- From Settings, swipe to and tap Security and Privacy, and then tap Biometrics.
- Tap Face Recognition, and then enter your PIN or password. If you do not already have a secure screen lock, you will need to set one up.
- Tap Continue, and then hold the phone 8-20 inches away as you position your face inside the circle. Hold the position until the progress bar reaches 100%. You may be prompted to remove your glasses to finish the process.
- When you're done, adjust your desired settings.
You can now unlock your phone by just looking at it! However, if you’ve set up a lock screen with Face recognition, your screen may request a PIN, Pattern, or Password under the following conditions:
- At least once every 24 hours.
- If 4 hours have passed without using the device.
- If the device has been restarted.
Note: These additional checks are to help keep your phone secure.
