Brushing my teeth? Can't unlock my phone.

Fresh out of the shower? Can't unlock my phone.

Phone too close? Can't unlock my phone.

Want to quickly unlock my phone while it's laying on my desk? Can't, gotta lift it, point it towards my face, then lay it back where it was.

I dunno, I have a bit of relief when I can just unlock my iPad with my finger.

When I am wearing a mask (for health reasons) it won't unlock.

I too miss the finger print unlocking.

But fingerprint unlocking didn’t work with wet fingers, like outside on a rainy day. I find that face unlocking fails less often than fingerprint unlocking ever did. (Though outside on a sunny day can be challenging.)

That’s why I want both

The problem with both (as much as I want it too) is that it reduces security because the chance of a false positive (falsely identifying you as the owner) for either/or is always higher than the chance for a false positive for each individually
