Does anyone else have problems with face unlock? Even with alternative appearance it rarely unlocks for me.

I am sorry to hear the facial recognition is not working well for you, and can understand how disappointing it is. First thing to try is seeing if you can set it up again, as the initial setup may not have gotten your face recognized correctly. This guide will help in guiding you: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062630/

 

If that doesn't help your phone recognize your face, next thing to try is see if a third-party application is interfering with your phone's features and functions. You can do so using this guide for Safe Mode: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/

 

Last thing to try if it behaves the same even under Safe Mode is to do a factory reset. This WILL clear your device of all data currently on it, so back up anything and everything important before going through with it (you can restore it all later). This guide can walk you through it: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

 

You can also submit an error report after recreating the steps that lead to your face not being recognized. This guide can help: https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/support/mobile-devices/how-to-report-error-using-samsung-members-ap...
While that link says it's not US, the steps are the exact same. 

If the troubleshooting is not helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician. For service in the U.S., you can take the phone to a local U.S. walk-in service location https://www.ubreakifix.com/samsung or to ship the phone in for service, please reach out to us via one of the following options: 1.

It has to be really bright for it to work properly. I have trouble too unless brightly lighted.

It doesn't seem to matter for me. It just rarely works...
