so i just wiped and installed viper 4.6. when i try to use the fingerprint login i get the error: fingerprint not enabled. fingerprint not enabled you have reached the maximum number of devices that can use fingerprint. you must disable one to enable fingerprint on this device.
i cannot find this anywhere. has anyone else come across this? how did you fix it?

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?
I don't really like all the hype about the fingerprint sensor, I'd rather like to have it killed down, so that it doesn't have any chance register any fingerprints.
On a desktop Linux I'd simply `modprobe -r` the relevant kernel module. Can I do something like that on Android? I don't want to simply disable it in the settings - then I have to trust the system that nothing really uses it.
im not sure if this can be done. try to find the fingerprint set up apk. I believe if you delete this apk it will FC every time you try to register a fingerprint. other wise set a pin and you wouldn't be able to register fingerprint without knowing your pin.
Hello,
I have an unlocked HTC 10 and have noticed over the past few months that on occasion, the password protection is turned off. I have a password set up as well as the fingerprint reader and both work well. But every so often, I'll notice that the lock key is unlocked on the lock screen and I can swipe up without having to use my fingerprint or type in a password. This is not secure and is a glitch that needs to be fixed. I checked through all of my security settings and cannot find anything that could be causing the issue. Smart Lock is only enabled for my car and my home. I notice this unlocked lock screen when I'm at work so it's not related to that. Trusted voice, face, and on-body detection are all off. The only way I can get the phone to be locked again and require my fingerprint or password is to restart the device. The issue still persists with the new Android 7.0 update as well.
Anyone else notice this issue? Any suggestions?
Thank you
Hi there, Please help me with this weird bug in my MM3's lock function. I haven't read about it anywhere else and I did not update or tweak my rooted system in any way so I'm at a loss as to what caused this probleman d how to fix it.
I am no longer able to employ a simple numerical or pattern screen lock. I go to settings, choose and then confirm the number or pattern, and hit accept -- at which point it asks me for a fingerprint (which I do not want to add) and when I hit cancel, the phone remains unlocked. If I hit add a fingerprint and refuse to present my finger, the phone also remains unlocked. This is so freaking weird!
(MM3 rooted but on stock Android 9 PKQ1.181007.001 -- Miui Global 11.0.6 Stable)
Honestly, I wouldn't give a damn as I never use a screen lock except I am in fact forced to use it every few weeks or whenever I want to review my Brave browser passwords. It forces me to set a lock screen in order to see them. So if there's a workaround just to see passwords, that would do me fine.
Because the basic number and pattern locks aren't functioning properly, I wouldn't even consider adding a fingerprint (and in fact, I have never done so. I have a probably irrational distrust of fingerprint, voice and retina security ... plus I live alone so such measures aren't necessary)
Can anyone give me any clues as to what could be causing this and how to fix it or get around it? Or even if there is a way to see my Brave passwords without employing a lock?
Theoretically, I could try temporarily installing a fingerprint lock which I could then remove after reviewing my Brave passwords. But I have an irrational dislike of fingerprint, voice and retina locks and never use that stuff. Moreover, given the basic number and gesture locks aren't functioning properly, the last thing I want to do is try a fingerprint.
Hi, anybody else with an issue to activate face recognition in the settings?
After update to One UI 5 (Android 13), I am not able to activate face recognition for unlocking the phone.
Also, I can't choose only swiping or turn off the locking.
These options are not possible to enable.
The passcode, pin and fingerprint work OK.
Any advice?
