Is Face ID on Apple iPhone X as secure as the fingerprint sensor?

At the launch of the much-awaited iPhone X, Apple replaced the biometric-based Touch ID data protection method for your iPhone with something that looks at your face and decides it’s you. The facial recognition system called Face ID is what the iPhone X gets. This isn’t the first phone to have it—many Android phones have deployed facial detection in the past too, but Face ID is potentially a bit different. Keeping this example in mind, the Face ID method is much easier to break for the police and other law enforcement and investigation agencies by forcing someone to look at the phone.
