Face ID Not Working [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

I had hesitated to migrate to 1PW 8 since 7 worked so well and I didn’t see or read of anything specific that was improved in 8, at least for me. But I eventually did about a month and a half ago on both my phone and iPad. There have been no issues, no problems with Face ID or anything else. I still haven’t seen any compelling improvement but certainly nothing to complain about. Just a few things to get used to.

Now 8 on my Mac, a 2013 MBP, is a different story. The main app is fine but the Safari extension bogs the system down unacceptably when launching Safari so I only use the main app not the extension. But I use my iOS devices 99% of the time anyway and 8 has given me nothing to think twice about. So I don’t see any disasters that they have to get a handle on. And it sounds like their latest release fixes the Face ID issue some are having.
