Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If your authentication method of choice on your Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ is face recognition, I'm sure you've been left feeling frustrated when it's too dark to recognize your face, forcing you to either enter a password or use the inconveniently-positioned fingerprint reader.

This got us thinking… Why doesn't face recognition automatically switch to the iris scanner, which utilizes infrared to work at night, when it's too dark to detect a face? It's a lot more convenient than stretching to reach the fingerprint scanner—and not to mention more intuitive.

We'd love to know what you think, so be sure to cast a vote in the poll below, then feel free to expand on your answer in the comments section. Come on, let’s get a conversation going! As usual, we'll be responding to comments submitted over on Facebook and Twitter.
