That would make sense as well
Apple devices require the actual Password/PIN when a reboot happens before it'll allow TouchID, so they'll probably extend it to the face scanner.
As a note: Microsoft Surface does a face scan to unlock Windows and it does not require any other password
So, the technology is already being implimented with no secondary password involved (though I'm guessing nobody here is surprised that M$ is doing something like this)
Given the obvious security hole of just-point-at-the-face-and-it-unlocks I bet they'll require a specific facial movement to confirm it like some cards (Mastercard for one) do with using selfies (blink, smile, whatever).
I'm not advocating it or even saying using biometrics as the main password is a good idea, but I'm seeing a lot of comments where people are afraid that it's just point-and-unlock and I wanted to bring a different perspective to the table based off of what we currently have.

It's funny that I find out that the web runs on Phosphorus-enriched salt just as they get rid of it!
