I got my new iPhone 13 mini yesterday and now I use face identification - fingerprint doesn´t exist in my phone. But now I am very worried. My husband and I tried the system and used a photo of my face - och it worked. So with a photo of me you can come into the most of my important apps. Can it really be so easy???? It is not okay.
Any solutions to this or how to make logg-in to important apps more secure?
Thanks!

It can't be as easy as you describe it. There is something that is amiss here.
If you are worried about security and do not trust technologies then please use a passcode to authenticate. Very simple.
Security safeguards
Security is important to all of us to protect the information on our devices. We have done some important things to safeguard your information, the same way we did with Touch ID. Face ID uses the TrueDepth camera and machine learning for a secure authentication solution. Face ID data - including mathematical representations of your face - is encrypted and protected with a key available only to the Secure Enclave.
The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone or iPad Pro and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 with a single enrolled appearance. As additional protection, Face ID allows only five unsuccessful match attempts before a passcode is required. The statistical probability is different for twins and siblings that look like you and among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed. If you're concerned about this, we recommend using a passcode to authenticate.
Though that doesn't seem possible however
Change attention settings
For additional security, Face ID is attention-aware. It unlocks iPhone only when your eyes are open and looking at the screen. iPhone can also reveal notifications and messages, keep the screen lit when you're reading, or lower the volume of alerts.
