Mark Zuckerberg's company has announced that this feature will be optional for users. It will only be available on devices that users have previously used to log into their accounts. Facebook announces it as a new security measure to identify account owners. Since the user can be identified quickly.

Until now, if your account on the social network was blocked, you had to resort to two-step authentication in order to recover it. It is done through a code that is sent to you by SMS. But, in a very short time, you can also use this facial recognition system to unlock your account.

Facebook joins the fashion of facial recognition with this new system. The company has not yet revealed when this new feature will reach users. Although they have said that it will be very soon, so we hope that in the coming weeks more data will be revealed about it. What do you think about this new feature?
