> It doesn't work when I am not wearing my glasses FaceID works with and without my glasses. I can't remember if it learned this automatically, or if I added it as an "alternative appearance." Does the Pixel 4 have any options like that?

Mine FaceID with or without glasses/ sunglasses and I did not set anything up.

  Anecdotally, mine doesn't work with sunglasses. I have to lift them up to get it to recognize me.

  Although recently I have discovered that it doesn't work with face masks!

    You know what else doesn't work with face masks? Human face recognition. There is a reason why robbers use masks. Setting high standards, aren't we? :)

  If it’s sunglasses with a strong filter, or possibly unfortunate polarization, it may cause some issues I believe.

    Bright sunlight reflecting off the glasses can cause it to struggle.

  It worked for me even with Ski goggles. That was really surprising.

FaceID works with my regular glasses but some of my sunglasses do not work at all (0% unlock rate with over 100 attempts in various lighting). I think it may depend on the shape of the frame and how much of your face it takes up? Not sure.

  There is an option inside of face id settings that says "require attention". This basically means it looks for your actual pupils to unlock. if you turn this off then sunglasses will start to work, as well as off angle unlocks without sunglasses.

  It has to do with polarization of the lenses and the "Require attention" feature of FaceID. The notch cameras can't determine if your eyes are looking at the camera if you're wearing polarized sunglasses (depending on the type of polarization) so having that setting on will give you a 100% failure rate with something that's covering your eyes.
