Frequent Face ID passcode prompts on iPhone

It won’t do any good to talk about this because I’ve just read through hundreds of other user complaints. I just started using FaceID and all day long my phone asks me to enter a passcode.

I like that my Mac asks for my fingerprint to unlock the screen, open apps and autofill passwords, and it works every time. Imagine that.
