For me, Face ID is pretty reliable and easy. I don't get perfect scans every time, but it's no big deal for me to enter my pass code since i use Braille Screen Input, or touch the numbers on the keypad. I won't argue that Touch ID is perhaps quicker, but Face ID is not as bad as many think. The times when I don't get good scans are usually overnight when I wear my sleep mask, or when my phone is angled wrong or I am not looking directly at it. It does get frustrating to enter the pass code every so often, but again, not a deal breaker. Also, I can use Face ID when my fingers are not clean, which is harder to do with Touch ID. The hardest thing for me about Face ID is initially setting it up on my own. I have no issues with scanning my head to enter my face, but I do have issues with positioning the phone. Once I get help to position the phone, getting my face entered is pretty easy. I also find the newer VoiceOver gestures pretty reliable. NO, they don't work every time for me, but usually they don't work when I try to slide my finger too fast. When I slow down, I can get to work every time. To each their own though.
