How to keep your Xiaomi device more protected and secure?
First, you should keep in mind that almost all devices can have facial recognition, from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 to the Redmi 7 and later.
You can keep your device safe in several ways, put a strong password, a pin, facial recognition and fingerprints but how does that work? The password is something that you can easily change, but we recommend that you put a secure one , with different numbers and letters as well as characters that are difficult to predict.
You can also do it with the fingerprint which will be a safe way because only with your finger you can access, and finally the facial unlocking in which you can configure your face , so you must be careful. One important thing to keep in mind is that it is recommended that you delete and deviculate the Xiaomi MI account if you do not use it on your device.
Another thing you can do to make your Xiaomi phone more secure is to update the operating system, as this way you can update the software which serves to avoid security failures. Nor should you save the password in your notes, in addition to the fact that it is advisable to have up to two forms of security, you can even hide the applications that you do not want to be discovered.

How to activate face unlock on a Xiaomi device?

What requirements are needed when scanning your face?
The requirements are very simple, one is that you must take the scan in a bright place where you can see your face very well, another important thing that if your face changes a lot you will have to know that the system will not recognize you. Also keep in mind that it is only allowed to save a single face.
Once you do, you will realize how easy it is to use it, but it is important that once it begins to show faults, repeat the process again because, unlike Face ID, it does not save different faces, it is only one, but you can configure it again whenever you want.
On the other hand, it should be clarified that this is not the only thing that you can use as a security method, since you must choose one of the three options mentioned, be it a password, a pin, or the fingerprint because as we know sometimes this scanning method can fail, then you should always set at least two.
If your phone does not come with a reliable security option, then you can proceed to look for an application by entering Google Play to be able to protect it in a better way, there are several that can help you feel more secure.
