Is there possible to lock apps or use fingerprint Sensor without using it on secured lock screen like Samsung.
Hi, You can try FingerSecurity on Google Play, but I am not sure if it is compatible with Xperia devices.

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.
App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.

There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.
We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.
If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.
Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?
Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

It would be a great idea if it uses actual fingerprint sensor for unlocking apps.

That's what I thought it was until I opened the play store page and watched the video.. 5-10 seconds to verify a fingerprint using a camera or less than 1 second to verify it using the integrated fingerprint sensor. I know which one makes far more sense!
Great idea....appreciate the hardwork
For everyone using CM or any of the custom roms and miss the fingerprint scanner... this is actually a nice substitute.
Can you let us know about privacy and if the data is stored locally or if it calls home?
privacy
We encrypt the User Finger prints and we don't save any of the user datas..
I can't unlock my S7 with fingerprint when I lock the device with an app like "Screen off and lock". When i lock the device with the power button unlocking with my fingerprint works fine. When i use an app to lock the phone i have always to enter my pin. Any solutions?
It should work. Maybe the developer is calling an old method or something like it.
I use the built in lock shortcut from nova launcher and fingerprint works like it should.

I tried various apps. None of them worked.
Locking with physical power button: fingerprint unlock works
Locking with app: fingerprint unlock does not work

Pls let me know if you find a solution to this.
You can try this app - Screen Lock and enable its experimental function - "Fix fingerprint unlock not work".

Great! Really works!
Great! Really works smoothly on my Galaxy s8+ Oreo rom (disables that stupid fingerprint limitation ) . Many many thanks.
Hi, I hate having i screenlock, be it password, pattern or fingerprint - it's just to uncomfortable, especially being lefthanded and having a flipcover.
But, I'd still like to use fingerprint authentication in certain apps, like my bank's app. However it doesn't seem possible to activate the scanning functions and registering prints without having a screen lock active.
Does anyone know how to get around this (no root)?
I would also like to know as well. I am using Microsoft Next as my lock screen and I apparently am unable to only use the lock screen with the fingerprint scanner. I keep getting forced to have a pin or pattern which sucks.

You can pair your phone with a Bluetooth device, such as Bluetooth wristband, and enable Smart Unlock then you may bypass the PIN.

Sure, but then I'll have to walk around with some bluetooth thing. I don't want that, I just want to be able to use the fingerprint selectively, without it locking the phone.

Had never heard of Next, now I already love it - thanks!
I think that's not possible. Fingerprint adds a security layer, but if for some reason it's not supported by an app or if for any reason you cut your finger and your fingerprint it's not readable anymore, you must have a backup unlock method.
Hi!
Until the last update it worked fine.
I want to unlock my screen by swiping )without any PINs or fingerprints) but I want to use the fingerprint unlock in my banking app (or any other app). Previously it worked just fine but now the fingerprint possibility is just disabled in my app and I have to insert the PIN.
Does anybody has suggestions how to make it?
Thanks
Mike
Is it possible to make the fingerprint reader system on phones useable in personal projects? For example; Using a phone's fingerprint system to integrate it into an automatic door lock system that opens and closes with a fingerprint. The door lock is just one example.
I just want to turn the fingerprint into a trigger. What do I need to do so that Andruio or any software system can read the "true, false" results? Thanks.
