Which Android devices will work with Biometric Facial Recognition?
TLDR: Family member has no fingerprints recognizable by any fingerprint scanner (optical, ultrasonic or capacitive) and must use PIN or Face Recognition to unlock apps.
**What Android devices do you have working with 1Password and Facial Recognition?
Have you seen any phone models advertised that include the Android Class 3 biometric implementation?**
In the course of adding multiple family members to 1Password, most of us use fingerprint to unlock phones but one literally does not have fingerprints that any fingerprint sensor can pick up. The only option they have is to use Facial Recognition. I cannot find a device in my care that works with 1Password's Biometric Facial Recognition. We have tried on Multiple Galaxy cell phones including a Galaxy 10+ with Android 11, Galaxy Tabs (both on Android 11), and a couple others.
According to this 1Password Support Article, "Unlocking 1Password with your face or eyes requires facial recognition or an iris scanner and Android 10 or later." All the devices I have tried have both facial recognition and Android 10 or later and still don't work.
Later in the article it mentions needing "Class 3 biometric implementation" but searching for that online yields little to no information about actual cell phone models that support this "Class 3" implementation.
I appreciate the security but this was a real unexpected and unfortunate curve-ball to find out that 1Password does not support a PIN for unlocking. Typing a secure password into the phone just isn't an option for most users, especially our older generation who thinks security is a pain to deal with and wants to revert to password123 as their password. (1Password, are you listening?? Please, please, please, implement an unlock PIN)...
Our family member without fingerprints must have something, so I am prepared to purchase a new phone for this purpose. What current android devices work with Facial Recognition? Even the Pixel 7/Pro don't have it. I need to buy a solution or they will literally use a weak password. TIA!
