Face Unlock vs. Fingerprint Scanner: What’s your main way to unlock your phone?

[u/iamryanmsd]

Hey everyone, just curious what the split is like here.

I’ve been using a phone with a fast fingerprint scanner for a long time, but a lot of newer devices are putting a massive emphasis on upgrading their biometric Face Unlock setups to work better in pitch-black low light.

If your phone has both options available, which one do you actually find yourself using more throughout a normal day? Do you prefer the instant speed of face unlock or the reliable muscle memory of a fingerprint sensor?

Fingerprint. I have the F8 that has the fingerprint reader in the side button, which I have configured for a long press opens the shut down / restart menu - which locks out the biometrics requiring the use of the pin/password.
