I'm having some issues with the tap to pay and imprint. Maybe i'm just an idiot and not doing it right. I go up to the vendor machine that has nfc and tap and it brings up android pay and then asks for my fingerprint or pin/pattern. i hold my finger on the imprint and nothing happens. it only seems to work when i put in my pin/pattern. i use the imprint to unlock the phone, tap to pay and then try again with imprint for android pay and nothing, it just takes me back to the android pay screen and i have to tap it again, so i try again with imprint and same thing. I can only get tap to pay to work with my pattern. am i doing something wrong? or in the wrong order?
It Just Works for me. I unlock the phone with Imprint, tap the reader and I’m done.
Are you sure the pay terminal has NFC payments enabled? I've seen a few places that have a pay terminal that supports NFC payment but have the NFC part disabled.
If you have Android Pay set up and the pay terminal has NFC and has it enabled you should just be able to tap your unlocked phone to the pay terminal. No need to have your finger on the sensor. In fact, if you have your finger on the sensor while trying to pay it might be causing the NFC chip in the phone to be too far away from the terminal.
If works fine for me any place that has a NFC pay terminal and has NFC payment enabled. Sadly that is almost no where.
Yea they have nfc. It used to work fine with my moto x with Google wallet. When i tap to pay it, it says enter code to unlock you phone for use. Or something like that. But the phone is unlocked already
Unlock first and with the home screen showing, then tap the phone. That's how Google tells you to do it in the "how to" section.

So.. I noticed that my phone wouldnt unlock, and on the lockscreen, there was something about missing hardware in red text. I restart my phone, and now I can't even select fingerprint in security settings. What should I do? I am from europe, so I didnt buy the phone from google. What should I say to the Seller store to get å new unit?
So can you use the iris scanner and back it up with a fingerprint too? Not 2 factor but in regular use cases like driving a car or wearing sunglasses, or simply hitting the home button to power the screen on?

I believe you're asking if the Iris Unlock and Fingerprint Unlock can both exist as an unlock option at the same time so you're free to choose whichever one you want to use whenever you want?
Kinda like... normally, you would want to use the fingerprint unlock, but on those days when its raining and your hands are wet, you can simply swipe up to activate Iris Unlock instead?
If that's what you're asking, I believe YEP it can!
If you take a pause at 03:04, on the unlock screen that he has, there's this message that says,
"Use fingerprint to unlock or swipe screen to use iris instead."
It looks like the reviewer has both set up so he's free to use either option as his choice.
Even if this would be possible, I woudn't use it to compromise security.
There's no sense for an iris scanner, if the informations can be accessed by a fingerprint scan.
And when your finger is wet, just dry and use it.
I really preferr fingerprint scan to unlock the system and iris scan, to access very confident informations (telebanking, passwort store and so on).

Exactly right. You can set both up and use whichever you prefer in any occasion.

I don't understand how this combination would compromise security, since the level of security of fingerprints and iris scanner remains unchanged.
On a whole, the Iris Scanner is already more secure than the Fingerprint Scanner.
From what I know of the phone, even if you use the Iris Scanner as an option to unlock the device, you're still able to use it as the unlocking method for a more confidential storage option like the Secure Folder.
Since its two different things, you're free to use the more secure Iris Scanner to both unlock the system and to access confidential information.
But I believe, fingerprint scanner would be used more simply because its quicker to unlock on a typical use case than the extra step for the Iris Scanner.
Honestly, I'm very excited about this combination.
A few months back, I ran into this scenario where I tripped and fell on my hands. Ended up scraping my fingers against the concrete and it tore some skin and left some scars that didn't leave for a few weeks. So at the time, fingerprint unlocking didn't work and since I primarily used Fingerprint Unlock, I forgot my backup password and had to rely on the GMail option to unlock device.
For a few weeks, I had to switch to using a Pattern Unlock till I healed enough to switch back to Fingerprint.
Now, if I had this phone, I could simply switch to the Iris Scanner and unlock without having to bother with the entire trouble of trying to remember backup password, gmail unlock, and switching to Pattern Unlock.
The Iris scanner is, as you write, "already more secure than the Fingerprint Scanner".
But if you use both in parallel, you reduce your security level to the Fingerprint Scan.
If someone steals your device and has your fingerprint, he might get access to your informations.
Iris scan does not bring any additional security, if you use it in parallel with fingerprint scan, unless you don't forget to put all your sensitive informations in the secure folder ...

Ahh, I misunderstood you.
So you meant that using both would give people a less secure option to get into your device when its safer to just use the more secure method?
I misunderstood because in your original post, it sounded like you preferred the fingerprint unlock for unlocking device and would rather dry your fingers instead of using the iris unlock.
The wording confused me.

Fully agree with you but also personally I don't care. It isn't about added security for me. Finger is fine. I just want gloves on convenience.

If someone has my finger to open my phone, I have bigger problems than them getting access to whatever is on my phone...
He doesn't need your finger, a fingerprint on a glass will do nicely
With the Iris Scan it's a bit more tricky, there he might need your eye ...
Maybe a good reason, not to use Iris scan, if you mess around with the wrong people ...
I entered one finger print successfully on my new Oneplus 3. I can't find how to set it to be used ever - instead of a PIN for example. It never seems to be requested. But I haven't tried to use Android Pay yet. Is there something else I should set?. - Mike
You might be just amazed by a blazingly fast fingerprint sensor. Try to unlock your phone with another finger.
Also, you don't need to do the fingerprint again for Android Pay if you've already unlocked the phone.

Well. You can unlock the phone with it, except the first time after a reboot. You can also us it in Play Store instead of a password for purchases. Chrome can use it, I have heard (not working in Firefox which I'm using).
You set a PIN in Lockscreen settings, add a few fingerprints from different hands (make sure you scan it like you would unlocking with one hand) and it'll automagically use the fingerprint sensor instead of a Lockscreen PIN (but you could use a PIN too if you want to).
The lockscreen fingerprint isn't "requested" per se, it just works. You see a small fingerprint thumbnail instead of a lock icon.
Or did I misunderstand you here?
Currently I have double tap to wake with Smart lock enabled. Unfortunately it takes me to lock screen and I have to swipe to go to home screen. Is there any Tasker plugin or any other way to go to home screen instead of lock screen on double tap? I have tried Tasker with my limited knowledge, but couldn't achieve it...
Update: Achieved with Tasker
Try AutoInput

To be completely honest I'm not too sure since I don't use the feature myself. I did see it somewhere in that plugin though, which is why I recommended it.

Thanks, will try that
I have the same problem / need. I use smartlock based on android wear watch paired with my galaxy S9, which means I never have to enter my pin, but for some silly reason whenever I wake up the phone using tasker I still can't get past the slide to unlock.
My current workaround which meets my immediate needs (maybe not yours).... on my phone which I carry in a holster on my hip is to use fingerprint sensor to manually unlock while the phone is in the holster. I also have a tasker task to vibrate upon unlock (bypasses slide to unlock) which gives feedback when I'm successful. Surprisingly, fingerprint sensor doesn't care which way you rotate your finger on the sensor - it still recognizes it.
After I unlock the phone I initiate actions from my smartwatch - things like initiating google voice search in a way that preserves my preferred note to self behavior (goes to google keep including transcript and recording... doesn't work if you start google voice search by saying ok google)

I was able to achieve this with Tasker and AutoTools.. now my phone directly goes to home screen when connected to my watch or wifi

Can you explain step by step please?
Just install AutoInput from playstore (it's not free), it has an option to unlock the screen automatically if you have FaceUnlock enabled.
Whenever I open my banking app I get a fingerprint prompt the screen goes dark and asks you to use your fingerprint to verify your identity it's really annoying and I've tried but can't find a way to remove it, it never happened on my note 8!
Turn off finger print then.
On some apps the fingerprint screen will pop up and darken the screen so it can show the information about the finger print scanning
do you use facial recognition? with my Note 9 due to Iris scan it basically let me in unlocking that way as it is secure, but with facial recognition on the Note 10 I was having trouble getting to use Google Pay and other secure apps, requiring extra security in the form of fingerprint or pin, I'm guessing due to the removal of Iris scan (my biggest disappointment) you need to either use fingerprint or the pin if you want to use secure stuff.
Are you running your app within the secure folder? Maybe that's verifying you before running the app?
Banking apps always require some autentication when accesing, as per security reasons, they log you out every time you leave the app

Not understanding.
If you want the fingerprint prompt off. Then turn off finger print in your bank app.
Also is it a finger print login or samsung pass login?

I do understand but I want my fps on but without the prompt like I said I never had this issue with my banking apps on my note 8
It's a finger print log in from the banking app
I think they are having the same issue I am with one of my apps. The app allows for fingerprint verification, however the setup requires you to type in your password, however in I can't do that as the fingerprint overlay is full screen abs I cannot enter my password.
What I would like is just a spot on the screen that says here put your finger here.... not a whole screen dedicated to the process.
