      Facial recognition is somewhat unreliable. I remember when Samsung had to update their phones because photos of people were able to unlock their devices, and even people who just “looked similar” were able to access them.

        Depending on the implementation it can be unreliable. More modern methods use 3D scans which can’t be fooled by a photo.
