<p>Google has confirmed the issue to Engadget and offered a workaround. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been working on an option for users to require their eyes to be open to unlock the phone, which will be delivered in a software update in the coming months,&#8221; the company wrote in a statement. &#8220;In the meantime, if any Pixel 4 users are concerned that someone may take their phone and try to unlock it while their eyes are closed, they can activate a <a href="https://support.google.com/android/answer/9075927#lockdown">security feature</a> that requires a pin, pattern or password for the next unlock.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a leaked image spotted by <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/17/20919390/google-pixel-4-face-unlock-eyes-closed-privacy-eye-contact"><em>the Verge</em></a>, it seemed that an earlier version of the Pixel 4 had a setting called &#8220;require eyes to be open,&#8221; much as Face ID does. However, that feature was nowhere to be found on launch day, and won&#8217;t be available when the phone goes on sale on October 24th.</p>
<p>Other than that issue, the Pixel 4&#8217;s face unlock system is secure thanks to an infrared system that creates a depth map of your face so that it can&#8217;t be tricked by a photo. &#8220;Pixel 4 face unlock meets the security requirements as a strong biometric, and can be used for payments and app authentication, including banking apps,&#8221; Google said. &#8220;It is resilient against invalid unlock attempts via other means, like with masks.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not comfortable with the eyes-closed-only setting for now, your best bet is to enable the &#8220;lockdown&#8221; option <a href="https://support.google.com/android/answer/9075927#lockdown">as shown here</a>. It can be added directly to the power menu option for quick access, and each time you enable the feature, it will force the user to enter a PIN.</p>
