Unfortinatly, Removed by Google in Android 10

Face unlock has been removed as part of Android 10's security considerations.

Hi @Caddy2k, welcome to our forum!

As @alaa_buhussaien mentioned, the trusted face feature in Smart lock has been removed in Android 10.

You can still use the other features in Smart lock though, just not this one. To be honest, Smart lock in general isn't very secure and you are better off using a screen lock + fingerprint, but I understand the convince with just having to look at the device for it to unlock.
