If I remember correctly, the Pixel 6 pro was able to use universalauth to spoof using face unlock instead of fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone as well as using biometric unlocks in apps.
Has anyone tried doing this with the Pixel 7 pro? Or is there an alternate method to use face unlock for all biometric authentication?

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.
i had op3 with frontal fingerprint, it was very easy to unlock the device when it was on the table.
now i have to lift the device for facial unlock.
do you use a faster way to unlock the device on the table?
Coming from OP3T I'm also having to come to terms with the same adjustment.
Only option I think you have is to enable the settings in gestures double tap to wake and then use Face Unlock

You knowingly bought a phone with a rear fingerprint sensor so why is this even a question? Use the passcode or pick it up it's pretty simple
Another option to unlock is using google voice match if you don't want to touch your phone. It works with OnePlus 6.
Hi guys, im facing the issue with Huawei P40 Pro. Gapps installed. The issue is that if i unlock my phone with different way of unlocking: face or finger. Note that 90hz mode is chosen in Settings. Both methods of unlocking turned on
1) if i unlock it with the finger - it works with 90hz
2) if i unlock the phone with face and the unlock screen appears at least for a moment - it works 90hz
3) if i unlock it with face and the unlock screen don't appear(actually i look at the phone and the unlock is really fast) - it turns 60hz.
Once i turned off the finger unlock option, it works 90hz with the only face unlock option. What should be the issue of this? I recordered the video to show you guys how it really looks like, add h before the link

i dont have this issue Whats your build number ? could you please share you complete build number.
Hey guys! I'm about to get myself one of these awesome phones, but I was wondering if there was a way to setup the unlock process to use the fingerprint sensor, but then have the lock screen hide the contents of any notifications unless it recognises your face. I believe a similar feature exists in iPhone, and I thought it was really cool, so might as well ask
Yes, this is possible. Just set up Face Unlock and hide notification until unlocked.
Just curious, you know how if you use the wrong fingerprint several times in a row, it will password lock you out? Is there a way to make it password lock you out of the fingerprint scanner if I use a certain finger just once to "unlock" the phone?
It's possible to disable / remove the fingerprint scanner, but the method may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and device model.
