I live in a cold climate, so I was happy to be done with TouchID. Then coronavirus happened and now it doesn't recognize me with a mask on.

  Just curiosity: does it start recognizing with the mask after some time?

    In my anecdotal experience, it does not. Apple has made it easier to bring up the PIN prompt when it fails, though: https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/20/21265019/apple-ios-13-5-out-now-unlock-iphone-face-mask-id-exposure-notification-covid-19 https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/20/21265019/apple-ios-13-5-o...

    Anecdotally, after some of the recent updates I've noticed like a 10% match instead of 0%. It was really nice when they pushed an update to recognize a mask and fail quickly to a pin since that's what happens most often when shopping.

  You can try enrolling your masked face as a second face. I had some success with that, but it would still miss enough to be annoying, but I've heard it works well for some people.
