I thought everyone put a password on their phone. I use a pin but once I tried using the facial recognition.

I wondered how secure it was though so I had my wife take a picture of my face with her phone and we held the picture up to my phone and it unlocked right away. So, not using that now. PIN PIN PIN!

My phone is also encrypted but that's because of work. I Wouldn't expect regular users to encrypt their phones but it's not a bad idea.
