That's an interesting spin. Like how Samuel L. Jackson takes the subway and people assume he's a guy who looks a bit like Samuel L. Jackson.
"I didn't know Kenu worked in fast food." or "Man that guy looks like a famous actor." Also, that Lois and Perry already know.

If this was the Silver Age, he'd already have found a stupid power to thwart facial recognition software.

The canon reason is his glasses are made of spaceship windshield and it amplifies his hypnosis abilities so nobody can tell through tech.

That's Flash's thing, but I suppose Superman is almost as fast, so he should be able to do it, too...

He did that in the tv show to move through a forcefield.
RoosterCastille
In the first years of Superman, his super muscular control allowed him to literally change his body and face to look different.
Clark was a lumbering oaf with a dumb face. Superman was sleek, rippling, agile, and handsome.
