@arstechnica Wear sunglasses with your mask, face ID uses eye socket geometry as one of its components.

Go one further and do a Doctorow - eyewear with IR reflective coating to blast out cams with their own illuminators.

@KellicTiger @arstechnica Ironically, there is "facial image cloaking software" called Fawkes that attempts to defeat facial recognition software used to analyze images (e.g., photos published on-line). Apparently Microsoft Azure has been altered to reduce Fawkes' effectiveness. Scroll to the bottom of the cited Wikipedia article for links (last paragraph of the text before "See also").
