It is similar to when PC users allow their internet browser, like Google, to store their password so they do not need to enter it every time they use the site.

So, it isn’t TOTV that is doing facial recognition, it is the device the person is using to look at TOTV. Nothing to worry about🙂
This is probably the best explanation. I am certainly not aware of any such technology being implemented. I did flag this for the tech support person to see.

Should be a non-issue.
