In order to avoid everyone’s “different tricks”, Tencent Games emphasized that as long as the system determines that it is suspected of being a minor, login and stored value will trigger face recognition.

To prevent someone from playing with the account of the elders of the family, as long as the user account is over 55 years old, face recognition is required every time they log in; in addition, to prevent the borrowing of the account, frequent logins with multiple devices with the same account will also trigger face recognition.

For once and for all, Tencent Games also advocates that parents should apply for a dedicated account for minors at home once and for all.
