A glitch with face recognition access on phones

A niece on Vince’s side of the family has twin boys who are now about 17 or 18. They are identical and have been very difficult to tell apart. They get along reasonably well but mostly live separate lives as far as friends and activities go. Continually being mistaken for each other irks them no end and they now have totally different hair-styles in an effort to be ‘different’ from one another.
However, one was exceedingly irked when, after getting a phone that can use face recognition to gain access, they discovered that either boy could gain access in this way. I don’t know what, if anything, can be done about this.
And this is my 2,100 post. Wow! Who’d a thought?
The photo shows the twins as ‘little tackers’ – is that a term you know for ‘children’?

@JustBhem I have problem with fingerprint recognition. My fingerprint are not recognizable in some cases like in out biometric machine and even at the government kiosks. Maybe because I have sweaty hands.

I dated a girl in college who had an identical twin. I'm pretty sure they switched places on me a few times on dates. There is usually something that can distinguish between any two twins, but for the life of me I never could tell these two girls apart.

@JudyEv There were times when I was suspicious, but couldn't exactly prove it. I just figured if they wanted to switch, that was their prerogative. It just meant that I got to date two beautiful girls at once! haha

@moffittjc I wonder if they ever fought over which one went out with you - or which one drew the short straw! 
That wasn't very kind. I'll withdraw that remark but leave it there for you to, hopefully, laugh at!

In an attempt to protect phones from hackers they're using things like facial recognition which usually works except in the case of identical twins .... I'll bet if they used iris recognition instead it might just prove a better option for those two.

Congratulations on the 2100th post that is impressive. And no, I have never heard of little tackers but we have several sets of twins in our family.

I never heard that term. But facial does need some work yet. But often twins even have matching DNA so not sure if that can be fixed.

@JudyEv I dont either. But it might as I think the fingerprints are still a little different.

no ma'am, 've ne'er heard 'em called such. what cuties! bet they've grown to be most handsome young fella's. that'd be purty frustatin' fer certain. perhaps they need to get 'em those that use a fingerprint 'nstead?
some twins 're thicker'n thieves whilst others jest want to fly 'solo'. i feel fer 'em, bein' mistaken fer someone else 'tis not the best feelin' sometimes.

"Little tackers"? That's an Aussie term? I haven't heard that one before.
