Summary The social networking giant will help users if they get locked out of their own accounts
(Web Desk) – Facebook is also testing facial recognition or face identity for its users in order to help them in cases like getting locked out of their accounts, according to a report on TechCrunch.
It is hard to say whether the social networking giant is inspired by the new feature given by smartphone manufacturer Apple, or has come up with its own idea. In both cases, Facebook will help its users regain control of the account by just using their face identity.

The social media currently uses two-step verification to strengthen the security which either involves security code sent via SMS, call on phone or email. This method can be evolved into facial recognition so that privacy and security is easier to access using one s face.
When approached, sources within Facebook told that account owners can regain their profiles by confirming their identity by face ID. If the tests go right and useful results are yielded in beta version, the tech giant will launch the feature in full for its millions of worldwide users.
Auto-tagging has been improved over the years by Facebook and it appears as if that the company will use user s photographs to avoid any third-party or hacker to break into the accounts. The company is also expected to use biometric data to ensure security.
