Similar to fingerprint authentication for apps, i am trying to implement face recognition authentication in one of my android app. Can anyone guide me on how to achieve the same using any library or anything.

Android’s Face Recognition (Software) is less safe than Apple Face ID (Hardware)
Because of

  • It doesn’t work in poor lighting conditions
  • It is possible to unlock a phone with a picture

So, it’s more a convenience as a feature than a security.
