My Verizon app does not support face ID as a login option

Why doesn't the My Verizon app support the Google face unlock protocol used on the Pixel 4 / Pixel 4XL?  The app supports fingerprint login as a biometric login option (I used fingerprint login for years on previous phones).  The My Verizon app supports Apple's Face ID as a biometric login option, but not the face ID function on the PIxel 4 / 4XL.  That seems strange to me.  Will there be an app update son that enables us to sign in to the My Verizon app using face unlock on our Pixel 4 phones?

You could also submit feedback to the developers thru the Play Store and might get a response.

I did that also, but thanks for the suggestion.  I figured I would post here also, and maybe between the two someone at Verizon / app support will hopefully see.

Any update on this?  The My Verizon app still does not support face login as a biometric option on Pixel 4 phones.  I understand that face unlock might not be secure on all Android phones, but it is secure on Pixel 4 phones.  Other apps have implemented face login as a biometric option for Pixel 4 phones but not all Android.  Can't Verizon app developers do the same?  It baffles me that Verizon sells the Pixel 4 but doesn't support the only biometric option on the Pixel 4.

Any update on this?  The My Verizon app still does not support face login as a biometric option on Pixel 4 phones.  I have used the Play Store - Contact Developer option several times and received no response (at least a response of "we are considering this"...or "no, we are not going to implement this" would be something).  I understand that face unlock might not be secure on all Android phones, but it is secure on Pixel 4 phones.  Other apps have implemented face login as a biometric option for Pixel 4 phones only, but not all Android phones.  Can't the Verizon app developers do the same?  It baffles me that Verizon sells the Pixel 4, it has been out for 9 months, and the Pixel 5 is right around the corner and the My Verizon app still doesn't support the biometric login option on the Pixel 4.

Thanks for sending this up the chain.  I understand security is a concern, I am an IT professional myself.  Verizon does allow Face ID login for iPhone users with the My Verizon app so your developers know how to enable it for the Pixel 4 series also.  I have talked to a few app developers and apparently it is very easy to enable face ID login for the Pixel 4 phones based on how Google implemented secure face ID.
