My 5 year old can unlock my phone with her face.

My 5 year old (who is my spitting image) can unlock my iPhone 13 with her face even though it’s only set to me.

how is this possible?

I recently discovered a shopping spree she’s gone on for a good while.

and I’m a bit scared it won’t get refunded.
