Turn on the front camera, lay the phone on your desk. Can you see your face in the image? Then you can unlock your phone by glancing over at it.

My phone is on my desk next to my laptop in the same place where I've been texting my wife for the past five minutes. I have turned on the front facing camera.

My phone can see the very corner of my head and about half of my eyebrow. I do not want that to be enough to unlock my phone.
