@JonnyT @mlanger You are wrong. The reasons are not far-fetched. FaceID can be used to unlock a phone without the owner's consent. The risk may not apply to you, but is a risk for many people. It is rude to dismiss other people's security concerns like that.

@dmaonR @mlanger FaceID can be setup to require you to have your eyes open and be physically looking at your phone - no one on Earth can force you to open your eyes *and* look directly ahead. Fail to unlock the phone a few times in a row and FaceID will be blocked and it becomes necessary to use the password.

FaceID can only be used to unlock a phone without your consent if you haven't paid attention to how to set it up as securely as possible.
