No one should use FaceID OR TouchID to unlock their phone. For App Store Authentication, sure, because at that point it's just a second factor after you've already entered a passcode. Unless you're one of those "nothing to hide" type people, use a passcode, or better a password/phrasee.

Your passcode is almost certainly easier to divine than your fingerprint or face scan.

Have you considered how easy it is to observe you entering your password over your shoulder? Or from a camera above.
