Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since Google Play Services v19, Face Recognition isn't available as an option to unlock your phone from your Lock Screen. Thus the "Trusted Face" app is redundant. MicroG might be able to make use of Trusted Faces and its libraries (or come up with a reimplementation) to bring back Face Unlock to mainstream Android phones.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see MicroG as a Trusted Agent and when selecting Smart Unlock I would like to see "Face Recognition" as a method to unlock my phone.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There aren't really good alternatives out there that operate at the privileged level.
Additional context
Everything is self explanatory.
