I am also curious about this, I know it's not secure but I would rather have it so I can have both the fingerprint and face unlock options. If anyone knows of anything that would be great.
Google removed facial recognition because some faces were cracking the screen. [emoji1787]

Would love to see a solution here as well
I think you can forget about getting that on the Pixel 5. They're pushing more security and adding face unlock would be a huge step back.

The OTA updates from Motorola for the Xoom don't have facial recognition unlock. You need to install a custom rom for that currently.
I see and for that root access is required correct?

Unlocked Xoom, yes, root, not necessarily, however most of the custom rom's I know of are pre-rooted.

Facial recognition unlock/lock package can also be found in the Flashable Gapp Packages. To be honest, the facial recognition is not very secure at all. Anyone can get past it with a picture of a similiar looking person, however its a cool feature.

Nope, it's for custom roms. Think of roms as customized versions of Android that you put on your device to replace your current operating system. Then, there's GAPPS (Google Apps) which are Google's proprietary, closed-source apps that are preinstalled out of the box and aren't supposed to be freely redistributed, so when CyanogenMod used to come with them preincluded Google got all up in their face and said that to compromise they should remove the GAPPS from being preinstalled on roms, hence why there's flashable GAPPS packages with the latest versions of all these apps. When you replace the OS/flash a rom and/or install certain zip packages it's called flashing. The reason Google removed front-facing camera unlocking features from the Xoom are unknown, but for Nexus S's, the phone before the Galaxy Nexus, it was removed due to inferior front-facing cameras that made it not work as well. I have a hypothesis as to why it was removed from our Xooms, and here's some of my ideas:
1. The camera is inferior.
2. This feature was built specifically around the Galaxy Nexus and isn't even that accurate onit so they didn't want to add it to other devices before completely fixing it.
3. Like Flipboard and the GSIII, they only want to support this feature on 1 phone until it's had all bugs completely worked out.

Perhaps you might be right. But to a certain extent it seems that the facial recognition is more of a pre conceived gimmick more so then a actual functioning utility. I'm a fan of tech obviously, but somethings aren't executed very well.

NFCSecure offers Android users a fast and easy way to protect their devices. By utilizing NFC technology, NFCSecure prevents access to any of the phone or tablet’s functions until an associated NFC tag is scanned. The app can be used in place of inconvenient PIN/Password unlocking or in combination with them to enable two-factor authentication. Stop walking around unprotected, and install NFCSecure today!
Features Include:
Code:
- Fast NFC unlock of Android devices
- Easily pair your device with multiple NFC tags
- Option to disable lockscreen widgets (Android 4.2+)
- Optional NFC lock delay (i.e. Require NFC scan every hour or every 3 times unlocked)
- Option to bypass NFC scan by typing Gmail credentials (i.e. for lost NFC tags)
- Option to bypass NFC scan by typing saved PIN (i.e. for lost NFC tags)
Requirements:
Code:
-Any NFC-enabled Android device running 4.0+
-One or more NFC tags with read/write access
Coming Soon:
Code:
- A full range of NFC tags including NFC rings, wristbands, and stickers
- Web portal add-on to enable remote device locking/unlocking and NFC tag management
- Corporate app suite with web portal, user/device management and provisioning, security policy enforcement (minimum PIN, require encryption, etc.), remote locking/unlocking/wiping, geolocation, and more. Contact us for customization options.
Permissions Required:
Code:
- android.permission.INTERNET
-- Required for version verification and authentication with App Engine (Coming soon!)
- android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
-- Required for locking the device when you complete a reboot
- android.permission.NFC
-- For NFC
- android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
-- Required for handling of phone calls
- android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
-- Used for App Engine authentication (Coming soon!)

- android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
-- Required to get a list of the accounts on the device for possible authentication.
FAQ
What devices are supported?
All of them! Well....if you have NFC at least.
What if I get locked out and lose all my keys?
Not to worry! Tapping on the app icon on the lockscreen will temporarily disable the lock, allowing you to authenticate with your Gmail account.
What NFC tags should I get, and where should I get them?
Within the app you can find a section called "Purchase NFC Tags". Here you can find a couple different sites that sell NFC tags which I have found cheap/cool/interesting/share worthy.
Can I use my NFC Key for storing other data still? I want to use it to trigger a <insert random action trigger here>
Currently, no.
Bugs and Issues
I dont think there are any. Please let me know what you find.
Awesome. Look forward to it. Any way of implementing multi user with android 4.2? Nexus 7 and such. Each kid has a key ring? Sounds legit

If you mean each key will unlock you to a off user, that's currently impossible until Google releases some open APIs for account management.
What you can do though is install the app on all the seperate user accounts and set different keys for each. The child would have to switch their account before scanning the key, but it would - i think - give you the result you're looking for.

Can't wait to try this at home. I have a bunch of Andytags(.com) everywhere. Should be interesting.

Its really best if youre able to get them on something you have with you constantly. The idea is to make it secure, not to be a pain in the ass to unlock your device. Try sicking one on your wallet so you have to tap your pocket, or maybe in your belt.
Someone saw this thread last night and contacted us about getting some NFC hardware to go along with our app, so hopefully soon well be able to provide some nice and convenient tags instead of slapping stickers everywhere.

You can pick them up for stupid cheap on that site i mentioned above.
Sounds cool. Is it possible to make this process even quicker? Like simply tapping on a tag to unlock the phone?
I think you could probably achieve that by removing your lock screen, but as far as a stock device with NFC goes, your device won't actually scan anything unless the screen is on and the device is unlocked.

Really like the idea but could you impliment the HFC hack so it works with screen off?

Hi,
I see the Knock Code feature working on a Flex in this video: w ww.lowyat.net/tag/lg-g-flex-knock-code-demo When I went to activate it in my Flex F340K Korean version, this feature is missing. Anybody knows how can I activate it?, maybe in a hidden menu or something?.
Thank you!.

Sorry but I still not found the option, I don't wNt to activate the double tap for lock and unlock the screen. I'm searching for knock code unlock, with this option you must push the screen in some zone like a pattern to unlock. As seen in the video linked in my first post.
Maybe is a future option that will be included in a firmware update?.
WTF !! we don't have that man...but looks very cool

After research about knock Code the video appears to be a preview of a next comming enhacement, the knock code feature is available now in G2 mini and will be added with a firmware update in some models like Flex,G2,G2 pro.... No ETA yet.
Appears to be a very cool option.
Does this mean this phone is always awake ? Could we see features like on the moto on this where google is always up ?(ok google)

I think that phone will be locked but when you lock your phone with a pattern or code you must activate the screen and then insert the code or pattern to unlock. with Knock code you will insert a push pattern with the screen off and will activate screen and unlock phone in a single step.
Hello!
I have a few Moto Skip NFC stickers that unlock the phone when tapped. These worked great in KitKat, but now in Lollipop, no longer work. They just say "NFC Tag collected" with the ID of the tag. Has anyone else had this experience?

The notes for the app say "Lollipop users - Mobile Hotspot is*not* working. Google has made breaking changes in Lollipop and it won't work even with root access. We're looking in to it currently". Perhaps there's another option available?
