My current biggest problem with FaceID is that it doesn't work when I'm wearing a mask. Which is pretty much anytime I'm outside right now.

Never had an issue with glasses though.

I trained an Alternate Appearance with my mask on.

OTOH fingerprint sensors don't work with latex gloves. Hard to come up with PPE-friendly security!

Tell me about it. I hope Apple can address this, it's so frustrating to type in the password every single time, and some apps just refuse to work without biometric authentication (payments apps)

I haven't confirmed this but I heard if you do alternate views with half a mask on both sides you might be able to unlock with a mask. I don't own a faceID phone so don't know if this is true.
