Hi, way before the pandemic I decided to stay away from my iPad Pro's Face ID (off-topic: and I disabled all Siri features that can be disabled). Playschool features are for users who don't really have a reasonable usage for a computer, who more or less own a computer as a lifestyle thingy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_ID#Use_with_face_masks >These days with 2 factor authentication enforced widely we became=20 >hostages of our cell phones ;-( Imagine you forgot it at home and need=20 >to authenticate. Or the device just died. =46rom conviction I don't own a smartphone and my iPad's aren't equipped with the "Cellular" thingy. However, Apple 2 factor authentication works by WiFi, too and some companies call me by landline to sent a speech SMS. To make an appointment to get an influenza virus vaccination I needed the help of a friend with a smartphone, since the doctor required a confirmation code send to me (the friend) by text SMS. Sometimes I'm screwed without a smartphone, but smartphone addicted people (and almost all owners are addicted) are probably screwed all the times, because the human brain needs time focus and time pause without smartphone disturbances.
