6.0 Fingerprint bug

lixin9311 — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 11:20:22 GMT

Atfer 6.0 update, I can actually use more than 1 finger to add one fingerprint record.

I've tried add 3 of my fingers into 1 record, and all of them can unlock my Z5 successfully.

It is not a feature, right?

Are you sure there isn't any smart lock feature enabled? Like on body detection?

I'm sure.

I think the point is, unlike the iPhone, it allows me to enroll fingerprints from my different fingers into a single record, and all of them could be used to unlock the phone.

Sorry for my bad English.

I will try to find out more about this.

@lixin9311 The same can be done on a device running 5.1 so I think this is not a bug as you say. The phone cannot know you are using two different fingers, it will scan what you place there. So as the fingerprint manager tells you, just move your finger gently, not switch.
