Current models of iPad support TouchID or FaceID, but not both. Only recent models of iPad Pro support FaceID.


Outside of Enterprise/Business or Educational environments, iPad (and iPhone) are intended to be single user devices. Unlike other computers with which you may be familiar, that can support multiple user profiles, iOS/iPadOS is designed to be used with a single user account.


However, TouchID supports up to five different fingerprints- and FaceID supports both a primary and an "alternative" appearance. As such, for supported models of iPad Pro, after setting-up FaceID you may be able to also setup and use the "alternative" appearance feature:


Settings > FaceID & Passcode > Set Up and Alternative Appearance
