How can I make sure only Face ID is used to access hidden photos?

when face id to access hidden photos is not recognised, the device automatically allows the user to input the phone password instead and gain access. is there any way to ensure only face id is used to access the folder and device password option doesn't pop up in case the user isn't recognised? for example, if someone who knows the device password tries to access the hidden section, they can do so even if their face id isn't registered - and i would like to disable that option.

Face ID has NEVER been a replacement for your Passcode. For certain things, you will ALWAYS need to use your passcode and this is an example of one which requires using your Passcode.

Hey everyone, I wanted to use FaceID to secure my hidden albums, but since the iPhone doesn't have that option, I found an alternative. Go to Settings > Apps > Photos and switch off the "show hidden albums" option. Whenever you want to see the files from your hidden albums, just turn it on. I hope this works for you!
