face unlock on Android

Help Android App
1

I’ve seen there that Android 1.5 version should have face unlock since 2020.
My phone has face unlock (configured), but no fingerprint.
I have Android version 1.10.3 (bought on google play, latest version today), but I can’t find any biometric auth setting.
The doc speaks about a fingerprint setting, but no face unlock :frowning:
Any way to use face unlock on Android ?

Before that, I had an iPhone, and face unlock worked.

(Phone is a Servo KING9000 on Android 10 - very small 3" screen, typing password is quite difficult)

Thanks

Hi,

My Android client has face unlock. See pic.

It looks like your face unlock sensor is not a strong biometric (class 3) according to Android CDD (Biometrics  |  Android Open Source Project) that’s why it is not shown as option (android/presentation/src/main/java/org/cryptomator/presentation/ui/fragment/SettingsFragment.kt at develop · cryptomator/android · GitHub).
