Introduction: Why you should add a trusted face to smart lock
Most people are familiar with the traditional methods of locking their doors, such as using a key or a code. However, there is a new method of locking your doors that is becoming increasingly popular: using a trusted face.
Adding a trusted face to your smart lock can have many benefits. For one, it can make it easier for you to unlock your door when your hands are full. Additionally, it can provide an extra layer of security for your home, as it is more difficult for someone to guess your facial features than it is for them to guess a code or find a key.
If you are considering adding a trusted face to your smart lock, here are a few things you should know:
What is a trusted face?
A trusted face is a face that you trust to unlock your device. You can use your face to unlock your device, sign in to apps, and make purchases. Your device learns how to recognize you over time, so it can distinguish you from other people in a photo or video.
How to add a trusted face to smart lock

To add a trusted face:
1. Open the Settings app on your device.
2. Tap Security & Location.
3. Tap Smart Lock. If you don’t see this option, your device doesn’t support this feature.

The benefits of adding a trusted face to smart lock

1. You don’t have to remember a key or a code – just look at the lock and it will recognize your face and unlock.
2. It’s more secure than a traditional key – it’s much harder for someone to steal your identity and use it to unlock your home than it is for them to copy a key.
3. You can add multiple faces to the smart lock, so everyone in your family can have access.
4. It’s convenient – you never have to worry about losing your keys or forgetting the code, and you can come and go as you please without having to fiddle with a key or enter a code.
