"Reliable" and "seamless" don't really go together when you're talking about a combination authentication/authorization mechanism.
To know you truly have the user's authorization to do something, there needs to be a discrete, conscious act. Touch ID had that. Face ID got rid of it. That's a net loss for users.
- dilap 9y agoI guess it depends on what you want. For me, it means if I lose my phone I can be reasonably confident someone is not going to be able to log into it. It means I can leave my phone out on the counter and not worry about someone peaking at my incoming notifications, or snooping on my phone. So for me, that's reliable enough. The seemless part is when I'm using my phone, I barely notice that I'm authing it with face ID. So, pretty seemless.
