Have you looked in settings - lock screen & security - smart lock?

Hi,

It has face unlock called "trusted faces" under the smart lock features.

But its not that safe, since you can unlock with picture from the owner of the phone.

But honestly this method should be sufficient....

Hi @Iank21 and welcome to the support forum!

As @RottenFoxBreath and  mentioned, there is a feature in Smart lock (Settings > Lock screen & security > Smart lock) called trusted faces which enables your device unlock when it recognises your face. Keep in mind though that face-matching is less secure than a pattern, PIN or a password as @Senseishodeluxe said.

I hope that answered your question, let me know if there is anything else!

If you can not find it. Then follow this:

  • Open the app drawer and select the Settings shortcut.
  • Select Lock screen & security, then Trust agents.
  • Tap the slider next to Smart Lock (under the subheading Device security). Then tap the back button.
  • Find and tap Smart Lock. 
  • Select Trusted face.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to complete the setup process. You’ll be prompted to create a PIN or a password if you haven’t already

It has been removed by Google, because it is NOT secure in the slightest.
