This may sound like a daft question, but is there any way my fingerprint to unlock the screen, if I've not turned on fingerprint security? I don't ever use pin or fingerprint protection, but like how quickly it wakes the phone once it's picked up

Nº.
Would also like to see that option...
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
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.
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.
