acquiring a front face feature and a side face feature of the first user in response to a face authentication request of the first user;

searching, based on the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, a first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user for a candidate user matching both the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, wherein the first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user is a list of users of multiple births with similar front face features and non-similar side face features; and

determining, based on consistency between the candidate user and the first user in the front face feature and the side face feature, whether the first user succeeds in the authentication.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the acquiring a front face feature and a side face feature of the first user comprises:

determining whether the first user is in the list of users of multiple births; and

acquiring the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user if it is determined that the first user is in the list of users of multiple births.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the determining, based on consistency between the candidate user and the first user in the front face feature and the side face feature, whether the first user succeeds in the authentication comprises:

determining that the first user succeeds in the authentication if the candidate user is consistent with the first user in both the front face feature and the side face feature; and

determining that the first user fails in the authentication if the candidate user is inconsistent with the first user in the front face feature or the side face feature.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire user information of a user in response to a request for activating a face authentication mode from the user; and

determine an authentication mode for the user based on first user information of users with similar front face features and non-similar side face features in a list of users of multiple births, second user information of users with similar front face features and similar side face features in the list of users of multiple births, and the user information of the user.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein in determining an authentication mode for the user, the processor is further configured to:

acquire a front face feature and a side face feature of the user if the user information of the user is included in the first user information; and

determine the authentication mode for the user based on the front face feature and the side face feature of the user.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein in determining an authentication mode for the user, the processor is further configured to:

acquire a front face feature of the user if the user information of the user is not included in the first user information; and

determine the authentication mode for the user based on the front face feature of the user.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein in determining an authentication mode for the user, the processor is further configured to:

prompt the user to activate an authentication mode other than a face authentication mode, if the user information of the user is included in the second user information.

12. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the user is a first user, and the processor is further configured to:

acquire a front face feature and a side face feature of the first user in response to a face authentication request of the first user;

search, based on the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, a first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user for a candidate user matching both the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, wherein the first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user is a list of users of multiple births with similar front face features and non-similar side face features; and

determine, based on consistency between the candidate user and the first user in the front face feature and the side face feature, whether the first user succeeds in the authentication.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein in acquiring a front face feature and a side face feature of the first user, the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the first user is in the list of users of multiple births; and

acquire the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user if it is determined that the first user is in the list of users of multiple births.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein in determining, based on consistency between the candidate user and the first user in the front face feature and the side face feature, whether the first user succeeds in the authentication, the processor is further configured to:

determine that the first user succeeds in the authentication if the candidate user is consistent with the first user in both the front face feature and the side face feature; and

determine that the first user fails in the authentication if the candidate user is inconsistent with the first user in the front face feature or the side face feature.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to perform an authentication mode determination method, the method comprising:

acquiring user information of a user in response to a request for activating a face authentication mode from the user; and

determining an authentication mode for the user based on first user information of users with similar front face features and non-similar side face features in a list of users of multiple births, second user information of users with similar front face features and similar side face features in the list of users of multiple births, and the user information of the user.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the determining an authentication mode for the user further comprises:

acquiring a front face feature and a side face feature of the user if the user information of the user is included in the first user information; and

determining the authentication mode for the user based on the front face feature and the side face feature of the user.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the determining an authentication mode for the user further comprises:

acquiring a front face feature of the user if the user information of the user is not included in the first user information; and

determining the authentication mode for the user based on the front face feature of the user.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the determining an authentication mode for the user further comprises:

prompting the user to activate an authentication mode other than a face authentication mode, if the user information of the user is included in the second user information.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user is a first user, and the method further comprises:

acquiring a front face feature and a side face feature of the first user in response to a face authentication request of the first user;

searching, based on the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, a first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user for a candidate user matching both the front face feature and the side face feature of the first user, wherein the first list of users of multiple births corresponding to the first user is a list of users of multiple births with similar front face features and non-similar side face features; and

determining, based on consistency between the candidate user and the first user in the front face feature and the side face feature, whether the first user succeeds in the authentication.
