Yes, we need to be particular about the setting.

1. When the default PINCODE/password is turned off, we would not have a rescue measure when we are falsely rejected by FACE ID. The situation would be described as ‘Loss of Availability’ — we have to abandon the login into the device.

2. When the default PINCODE/password stays turned on, we would not have to suffer the loss of availability. However, the overall security would be inevitably lower than PINCODE/password-only login as visually explained in this short video — “Biometrics in Cyber Space — “below-one” factor authentication” https://youtu.be/wuhB5vxKYlg
