Does anybody know if by setting up an exchange activesync account, the fingerprint scanner can still be used or android reverts to PIN/PASSWORD as is the case now with face unlock & pattern?
I know that Android by default does the latter, but there is a chance Samsung has circumvented it and implemented in a way that Apple does with touch ID-pissing off IT people who would love to be able to disable it.

On current Samsung phones with fingerprint scanner, fingerprint can be used with exchange active sync. But I think your company it administrator could set the security policy to disallow it.

Great, thanks. I just remembered I have kept the MS outlook version that requires no PIn and in case they do set a restricted policy I will use that or the hacked AOSP email client version of it works, then use the scanner to unlock/lock
Can someone who has access to an S6 confirm whether the fingerprint reader is still grayed out like the current Samsung phones? It seems like it is more of a Microsoft issue than a Samsung issue.
Has anyone had a chance to test the fingerprint scanner with a locked down exchange account?
I expect it to behave the same way as note 4. Once exchange policy is enforced the option gets greyed out and cannot be used, have to use a password. I have kept the modded AOSP version of the email app( will have to see if it works on TouchWiz) or use the initial versions of outlook app that do not require a Pin/pass then activate the fingerprint option as security

Doesn't get greyed out for me. I think it depends on your company IT policy.

Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
I have a Note Edge (Kit Kat) and it is greyed out for me.
Is there anything I can do to allow the fingerprint security?
Will upgrading to Lollipop make a difference?
I can confirm that S6 works just fine with fingerprint scanner and Exchange policy enabled. What a relief I think it is more related to revamped version of the E-mail client doing the hack in similar way as iPhones do.

So does that mean it should work with the note edge?

I suggest to check if you have Android 5.0.2 and Email client version 1.0.0.388356 (5.0.2) or above. If it is the case I think you can assume it will work.

You can do it in the App Manager, look for the E-mail app and once you click on it you will see its version number.

You are probably aware of this but if you use a third party email client, such as Touchdown, instead of the stock client you are not forced to lock your Xoom as Touchdown uses a password to open the application.
I could successfuly apply the exchange security bypass method mentioned in the below post.

I haven't been able to test these yet, but If someone wants to check report back. If not I will check tomorrow. Stock email and exchange apks with the pin bypassed.
Backup your current email and exchange apks including their odexed files and push these to system/app, set permissions, and reboot.
Exchange2Google.apk - 1.12 MB
EmailGoogle.apk - 4.81 MB

Yes it does. Just download the files to your phone, rename the current files in System/app to Email.apk.bak and Exchange2.apk.bak. Copy these new files to System/app and rename them to Email.apk and Exchange2.apk, then set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r. Then reboot. Solid Explorer works great for doing all of this directly on the phone.
For some reason now when I go to add account, there are 3 options for Corporate, but they all do the same thing. Other than that it works like a champ with security disabled. I tried the Xposed modules but couldn't get any of them to work, this worked first try.
Weird. I tried that exactly and couldn't get it to work. The email app didn't show up. I'll give it another shot.
Edit. Tried it again and it still didn't work. Not sure why.
I'll give it a try!

FYI Exposed Module "Exchange Bypass for Xposed [1.6]" works on MotoX 4.4.2
Try Enhanced Email instead of stock mail app.. it has saved my life: company mail/ calendar sync with native(!!) agenda -w/o the pain of company policy restrictions..
Mail wise also works with built in exchange security bypass. But it's in beta. Who knows how much they'll charge for it when beta ends and if the exchange bypass will remain.

Personally: I stick with Enhanced Email, because it provides beside company policy bypass also integration of exchange calendar with my native calendar app on my Android.. As my secretary puts all my appointments in my exchange agenda, for me a very convenient way to see all my private and work appointments on one place..

I tried the Exchange Security Bypass for Nexus devices & AOSP by shantzg001... doesn't work. I think.
It still says device admin still require a PIN. I can, of course, go to device admin and disable Email there, but that beats the purpose, no?
Bottomline: how exactly do I run this module? lol

I think Aqua Mail is the one to go for. I use it for my gmail and outlook accounts. You can even download Development builds on their forum. It has a pleasant interface and a lot of options.
i just use the gmail app , no complaints here. Guess it all depends on what you want in the app.
I am using cloudmagic for company exchange account. Works great for me.

cheers guys ill go through them and c which is the one for me..
Cloudmagic (free and perfect for exchange accounts, but a little "dangerous" about privacy) or Aquamail (very good but free version is limited to 2 accounts and adds app infos in each outgoing mail sign and paid version is expensive for me, about 4 euros).
AquaMail but has no threaded messaging, some like that feature, I don't.
SolMail is good too.
Mailwise too.

I also like MailWise Beta, I use it for my Exchange server email. I used to use touchdown and Moxer but quickly stopped using those when I stumbled onto MailWise.

Have you ever tried MailWise Beta? It allows you to bypass the exchange security lock if that is something you are interested in or if you company policy enforces that. I think it has a nice interface as well. I guess it all depends on user preference.
I'm still stuck with samsung email for my exchange account n I think it's a pretty decent one.. I've tried Aqua and K9 but didn't really like the user interface of both

Since flashing to 4.4 KK I have went back to the stock Samsung email client. I have turned off the exchange security bypass so the default Samsung app is fine for me now.

I am running an Xposed module that allows me to turn it off. I am also using Wanam Xposed that has the option in it as well.
Edit:
If that doesn't work for you, you could always try MailWise Beta. They have an option to turn that off as well with a code. Download the app, before setting up your account, open the app, hit the menu button, click on exchange bypass and follow the instructions.
What's the name of that xposed module?

K-9 mail here
I use SMail
It supports POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and Exchange ActiveSync. It also supports S/MIME for email signature and encryption.
Perfect for all my personnal accounts + business email.
can anybody with a corporate email account confirm if the fingerprint can be use in the same manner as in the iPhone? or it gets grayed out and you have to use a password instead?
Thanks.
I would like to know the same!

Can confirm this works! It was my biggest pain point on my Nexus 5. It works with Nine, Outlook Preview, Gmail Exchange, Samsung email, and a few others I'm forgetting about.

Yep, currently working with Nine and Samsung Email (I manage the MDM at my work and had to test these.)
Yes it works for me. It didn't work with S5 but it works now with s6 :good:.
Can confirm as well. Do not have to use a PIN anymore/can use fingerprint.
does this work with the default samsung email application that comes stock on the s6 ?
went to the store and tried myself, it does indeed let you use the fingerprint for Exchange email using the stock app.
Hola
OK, I am confused. How did you folks get the fingerprint method to work instead of typing a PIN in Nine email client.
I see no configuration in either Nine client or S6 security settings that allows me to switch from PIN to fingerprint.
I googled and didn't find much.

Nope..

It works for me.
I get the buzz, then I can approve on the GW4, never have to touch my phone. For this to work, you have to disable "App Lock" in Microsoft Authenticator settings.
Only works for my work account though. For my Microsoft account, where you have to pick a number, it doesn't.

Only issue with that is then you can't use the password entry feature as that needs app lock
